RAMALLAH, June 10, 2025 (WAFA) – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates warned on Tuesday of escalating Israeli plans that threaten to ignite the occupied West Bank, further the crimes of genocide, displacement, and annexation against the Palestinian people, and undermine any prospects for establishing a Palestinian state.

In a statement, the Ministry said these Israeli plans envisage escalating the crimes of extermination, displacement, and destruction in the war-battered Gaza Strip, continuing the unprecedented incursions by the occupation army and colonists into the occupied West Bank, as well as the crimes of demolishing hundreds of homes in the Jenin and Tulkarm refugee camps and numerous Palestinian towns.

The Ministry said these actions are accompanied by the unbridled expansion of colonies, the construction of dozens of new colonial outposts, and the takeover of large swaths of the West Bank under the pretext of "pastoral colonialism” and colonial military purposes.

These actions are also intended to fragment the West Bank, cripple Palestinians' ability to move freely and access their livelihoods, and target Christian and Islamic holy sites, especially Al-Aqsa Mosque, which faces attempts to solidify its temporal and spatial division.

It called on the international community to take immediate and practical measures to curb Israel's aggression against the Palestinian people and infringement upon their rights.

It noted that it positively views France and Saudi Arabia’s efforts to ensure the success of the international conference, scheduled to take place in New York, while pointing out that it was take action to ensure the conference outcomes would rise up to the challenges facing the Palestinian cause, primarily the immediate cessation of the crimes of genocide, displacement, and annexation, and safeguarding the two-state solution.
