Fattouh criticized the recent confiscation of land in the Jabriyat area and the construction of new roads for Israelis in the Anin and Silat al-Harithiya areas.

The official affirmed that this strategy is a crime of ethnic cleansing and is part of the ongoing violations by the goernment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The PNC chairman emphasized, “The plan is to displace Palestinians and forcibly impose colonial realities on our land.”

Fattouh called on the international community to review its stance toward that country thoroughly and adopt practical measures to stop its crimes.

Moayyad Shaaban, head of the Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, recently denounced in a monthly report on “Violations of the Occupation and Colonial Expansion Measures,” that Israel conducted 1,637 attacks on Palestinian property and the population in the West Bank in April.
