The official spokesman for the Palestinian Presidency, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, said that the statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which he said that “the occupation army is preparing for a possible confrontation with the Palestinian Authority security services in the West Bank clearly express its premeditated intentions, and the existence of an Israeli decision to ignite… The West Bank, in continuation of the comprehensive war waged by the Israeli occupation authorities against the Palestinian people, their land, and their sanctities in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Jerusalem.
Today, Tuesday, the Palestinian News and Information Agency (Wafa) quoted Abu Rudeina as saying, “Netanyahu’s statements in which he referred to the establishment of a civilian authority affiliated with the occupation in the Gaza Strip are condemned and rejected, and constitute a challenge to the entire international community and to the declared positions of the American administration, which announced its refusal to return Occupying Gaza or cutting off any part of it.
He stressed the position of President Mahmoud Abbas, who affirmed that “the Gaza Strip is an integral part of the territory of the State of Palestine, and that the Palestine Liberation Organization is the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.”
He pointed out that “these statements come within the context of the ongoing genocidal war against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank, including killings and arrests of Palestinian citizens, raids on cities, villages and camps, forced displacement of residents, especially in the Jordan Valley, and withholding of Palestinian clearing funds.” ».
The official presidential spokesman said, “The Israeli occupation authorities will drag the region into endless wars and threaten international peace and security.”
Abu Rudeina called on the American administration to “assume its responsibilities and oblige the Israeli occupation authorities to stop their escalating crimes against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Jerusalem, because they are the only party capable of stopping the aggression.”
He pointed out that “the use of the United States of America’s veto power is what gave the green light to the Israeli occupation to continue the war, aggression, and crimes, which exceeded all the prohibitions of international law,” stressing that “the decision to stop the war is in the hands of the American President first and foremost.” .
