RAMALLAH, July 4, 2026 (WAFA) – Presidential Spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh affirmed that the organized terrorism carried out by colonist  gangs against Palestinian villages and towns in Jenin, Nablus, Jerusalem, and Hebron in the occupied West Bank is a dangerous escalation of violence.

In a statement, Abu Rudeineh said the attacks have included assaults on homes and residents, the burning of agricultural land, the uprooting and destruction of olive trees, damage to private property, and the seizure of water sources.

He said the escalation, carried out with the direct protection and support of the Israeli army, which continues its daily policy of killing in the Gaza Strip, necessitates immediate international intervention to provide international protection for the Palestinian people before the situation spirals out of control.

Abu Rudeineh further affirmed, “We call upon the international community, particularly the U.S administration, to take concrete steps to compel the occupying power to abide by international law and UN resolutions, and to cease its ongoing crimes, whether committed by the occupation army or by terrorist colonists.”

Abu Rudeineh held the Israeli government responsible for the deteriorating situation, arguing that the settler attacks are inseparable from what he described as the ongoing war of genocide and forced displacement in Gaza, aimed at undermining the Palestinian national project and imposing a colonial reality in violation of international law and UN Security Council Resolution 2334.

He concluded by warning that the region, which is facing a dangerous historical turning point due to the continuation of wars and chaos resulting from the occupation's policies and its failure to adhere to Arab, international, and legal legitimacy, will remain on the brink of disaster.
