RAMALLAH, May 27, 2025 (WAFA) – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that the Israeli occupation army is deliberately inflaming the situation in the occupied West Bank to create a false impression of chaos and instability, in an effort to justify its escalating aggression against the Palestinian people, its crimes against Palestinian civilians, and its seizure of vast areas of the West Bank.

These actions, the Ministry stressed in its statement, are intended to entrench and expand the colonial enterprise and to accelerate the gradual annexation of additional Palestinian land."

The Ministry stressed that it continues its diplomatic efforts with countries and international actors in light of the mounting crimes, particularly amid Israel’s intensified bombardment of civilians and the perpetration of mass massacres in the Gaza Strip, most recently the massacre at a School sheltering displaced persons.

The Ministry also denounced the sweeping incursions by the Israeli army and colonists across the entire West Bank, including today’s unprecedented assaults on unarmed Palestinian civilians, their lands, homes, vehicles, properties, and sacred sites, acts that the ministry slammed as an advanced and blatant form of both de facto and de jure annexation of the occupied West Bank.

In conclusion, the Ministry warned of the grave implications of this aggression for the security and stability of the region and for the viability of the two-state solution.
