RAMALLAH: Speaker of the Arab Parliament Mohammed Al-Yamahi has strongly condemned the dangerous escalation of violence carried out by terrorist settler militias, under the direct protection of the Israeli forces, against Palestinians and their property throughout the occupied West Bank.
In a recent press statement, Al-Yamahi said that this escalation has resulted in the killing and injury of several Palestinians, in addition to the burning of homes and property and attacks on Palestinian villages and towns, constituting a dangerous escalation that amounts to war crimes and crimes against humanity.
He claimed that the organized terrorist attacks carried out by colonist militias in the West Bank, with the full support of the extremist occupying government, reveal a systematic policy aimed at terrorizing the Palestinian people, forcibly displacing them from their land, and imposing a colonial reality by force, in flagrant violation of international law, the Geneva Conventions, and resolutions of international legitimacy.
He added that the continued killings and extrajudicial assassinations, and the escalating attacks by colonists on unarmed civilians and their property, reflect the occupation’s determination to expand its aggression in the West Bank, in parallel with its crimes of genocide, starvation, and destruction in the Gaza Strip, in an attempt to impose new realities on the ground and undermine the chances of achieving a just and comprehensive peace.
