This project goes against the creation of a Palestinian State because it divides the West Bank into two, the head of the government said at the opening of a weekly cabinet meeting.

The Israel Hayom newspaper revealed days ago that the Israeli authorities plan to build the park in an area located between the city of Jurusalem and the Dead Sea.

According to the Palestinian Information Center, this proposal is one of the largest land thefts in the West Bank in decades and warned that it will change both the demography and the geographic and political structure of the region.

Shtayyeh also condemned the occupying power’s plunder of Palestinian natural resources.

“The world should remember this well and not encourage (Israel) to violate our rights,” the politician said.
