Palestinian FM: Israel welcomes Greenblatt with Central celebration for occupation
In accordance with President Donald Trump’s Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt visit to the region, the Israeli government, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, is organizing a central celebration in the settlement of Gush Etzion on the occasion of what it calls “the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Judea and Samaria, The Jordan Valley, and the Golan Heights”, and its colonization, with the participation of members of the right-wing ruling coalition, led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly condemns the provocative colonial policies practiced by the occupation authorities in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, as the ministry affirms that this event along with other events are an additional proof of Israel’s unlimited official support for colonialism, land theft and Judization of the Palestinian land. In line with the ruling right wing’s ideology, founded for the perpetuation of the occupation and seizing of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and undermining any opportunity for the establishment of a Palestinian State alongside Israel, which is an essential obstacle to resolve the conflict politically.
The Ministry believes that the international community’s abandonment of its real responsibilities towards our people and their suffering encourages the occupation authorities to continue to occupy the land and destroy the two-state solution and continue to rebel against internationally legitimate resolutions and international law. Also, the international community’s silence on the Israeli crimes and violations against our people raises many doubts about the seriousness of the states and international institutions in defending the two-state solution and their credibility in protecting and applying international and humanitarian law in Palestine.
