Israel's War Against the Palestinian State: A Clear Indication of Israel's Failure to Uphold International Law

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns that the far-right Israeli government is actively undermining the foundations of an independent Palestinian state and obstructing its realization, thereby thwarting international consensus on the Palestinian right to statehood. This is evident through intensified campaigns of genocide and displacement, particularly against olive harvesters in the occupied West Bank, aimed at facilitating the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians throughout the Palestinian Territories for settlement expansion.

The Ministry emphasizes that the far right Israeli government has effectively erased any distinction between armed settler militias and the occupying army. This blurring of lines clearly demonstrates the Israeli government's adoption of extremist settler organizations, providing them with comprehensive support, protection, and resources in their relentless pursuit of Palestinian citizens, their lands, properties, and holy sites. Such complicity paves the way for the gradual and silent annexation of the occupied West Bank and the establishment of what is falsely referred to as the "Temple Mount." This alarming reality highlights the extent to which the Israeli government is facilitating the ongoing ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

Israel's ongoing refusal to adhere to international demands requires a decisive global response to compel the occupying power to end its brutal war crimes, halt settlement expansion, dismantle settler militias, and implement the UN General Assembly resolution affirming the International Court of Justice's advisory opinion within twelve months. The Ministry emphasizes that reliance on the Israeli government's positions constitutes an abdication of responsibility and contributes to the escalation of war crimes and the ongoing displacement of the Palestinian people.
