NEW | The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the condemnation by more than 85 countries and UN bodies rejecting Israeli occupation decisions to expand illegal settlements, advance annexation, and displace Palestinians.
The Ministry said the growing international consensus reflects rising awareness of Israel’s efforts to impose facts on the ground by force and alter the legal and demographic status of the occupied Palestinian territories since 1967, including East Jerusalem, in violation of international law.
It stressed that the world will not recognize any unilateral changes along the June 4, 1967 lines, reaffirming that the acquisition of territory by force is illegal. The Ministry called for concrete international action to pressure the Israeli occupation government and ensure accountability.
