WEST BANK (Kayhan Intl.) – The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has censured international apathy towards the sufferings of Palestinian people, saying that such a practice has encouraged Zionist troops and settlers to "carry out more attacks against defenseless Palestinians.”
The ministry, in a statement called on the international community, the UN Security Council and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to employ international protection mechanism for the Palestinian nation "before it is too late.”
It held Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fully responsible for the recent uptick in settlers’ attacks against Palestinian communities across the occupied West Bank.
A group of Zionist settlers attacked local residents on Saturday in the northern West Bank village of Burin, located 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) southwest of Nablus, as they were picking olives, forcing them to leave their land.
Ghassan Daghlas, a Palestinian Authority official in charge of monitoring the regime’s settlement expansion activities, told the Palestinian Arabic-language Safa news agency that people from Yitzhar settlement, which lies south of Nablus, attacked a Palestinian family as they were harvesting the produce.
Daghlas added that the Palestinians had to leave the area in the face of the large number of settlers.
More than 600,000 Zionists live in over 230 settlements built since the 1967 occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds.
The UN Security Council has condemned the regime’ settlement activities in the occupied territories in several resolutions.
Less than a month before US President Donald Trump took office, the United Nations Security Council in December 2016 adopted Resolution 2334, calling on Israel to "immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem (al-Quds).”
Palestinians want the West Bank as part of a future independent Palestinian state with East al-Quds as its capital.
The last round of Israeli-Palestinian talks collapsed in 2014. Among the major sticking points in those negotiations was the regime’s continued settlement expansion on Palestinian territories.
