Fattouh accused in a statement the neighboring country of trying to seize more land in the coastal enclave, which has been devastated after more than two years of attacks.

The Palestinian leader criticized the so-called yellow and orange lines, announced by the Israeli Army to divide Gaza and justify its presence there.

The official stated, “The occupation’s control over more than 60 percent of Gaza Strip represents a flagrant violation of international law and signed agreements.”

Fattouh urged the international community to assume his legal and moral responsibilities to “put an end to the policy of double standards.”
