The PNA official also condemned the ongoing Israeli attacks against the inhabitants of the Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, the epicenter of resistance against the occupation.

Tel Aviv’s actions are ” a continuation of the ongoing series of crimes committed throughout the occupied Palestinian territories against our people, whether by the occupation army or by the settlers,” she said.

Rudeina held the Israeli government responsible for the new escalation and warned of its consequences for the region.

The Palestinian people will stand firm and will defend their legitimate rights, he stressed.
