CAIRO, July 3, 2025 (WAFA) – Head of the Arab Parliament, Mohammed Al-Yamahi, expressed his strong condemnation and rejection of the dangerous statements issued by officials in the Israeli occupation government, most recently the statements made by the Israeli Minister of Justice, in which he explicitly called for the annexation of the West Bank and the imposition of Israeli sovereignty over it.

"This is a flagrant violation of international law and relevant international legitimacy resolutions, and an attempt to undermine all opportunities for a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution and an end to the occupation," he said.

In a statement issued today, the Head of the Arab Parliament stressed that these statements reflect the colonial expansionist approach pursued by the occupation government, stressing his rejection of its blatant violations in the West Bank, including raids, arrests, the expansion of illegal settlements, the escalation of military attacks, the demolition of homes and infrastructure, and the displacement of citizens.

He also expressed his rejection of the escalation of attacks by extremist colonists against civilians in the West Bank under the protection of the occupation forces, coinciding with the genocidal war in the Gaza Strip aimed at eliminating all aspects of life and targeting the Palestinian presence.

Al-Yamahi warned of the danger of these policies aimed at perpetuating apartheid and hegemony, stressing that the occupation's continued imposition of new facts on the ground by force will not change the legal status of the Palestinian territories or legitimize an unacceptable and invalid occupation.

He renewed his call on the international community, especially the Security Council and the United Nations, to assume their legal and humanitarian responsibilities and take urgent action to halt these systematic violations, hold those responsible accountable, provide international protection for the Palestinian people, and support their legitimate struggle to establish their independent, sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital. This is the only solution to achieving a just and comprehensive peace that guarantees security and stability in the region.

He affirmed that the Arab Parliament will continue its full and unwavering support for the Palestinian people and their legitimate national rights, foremost among which are their right to self-determination, return, and the establishment of their independent, sovereign state.
