The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly condemned in a statement the violations and crimes committed by extremist militias in cities, towns and fields in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The organized terrorism by colonialists reached unprecedented levels with the protection of Israel’s Army.

In this regard, the Ministry estimated that extremists “get encouragement and support in their attacks” from the Israeli Government and from the feeling of protection and immunity they have.

We hold the Israeli authorities and the far-right coalition in power fully and directly responsible for their calls, because they are “an extension of the arrogant and racist mentality of the occupation that denies the existence of the Palestinian people,” the Ministry stressed.

The Ministry called on the International Criminal Court to quickly issue arrest warrants against the settlers, and “those behind them.”
