The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has strongly condemned the ongoing incitement by top Israeli government officials encouraging the murder of more Palestinians under baseless excuses.
In a statement released this evening, the Ministry stated, “At the forefront of these inflammatory and racist statements is the venom spread by the extremist and fascistic minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, to the occupation army soldiers and the extremist settler fanatics. He affirmed his support for shooting any Palestinian, even if the lives of the soldiers were not in danger.”
The Ministry added that “Ben-Gvir is attempting to demonize all Palestinians, treating them as terrorists, in the ugliest call to propagate the extrajudicial killings and massacres practiced by the occupation army in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem.”
Referring to the situation in the Tulkarm and Nour Shams refugee camps, which have been under an Israeli military attack for over 36 hours, the Ministry described it as “a brutal repetition of the all-out destruction and targeting of civilians, including children, women, ambulances, medical crews, and health centers, similar to the Israeli aggression against Gaza.”
The Ministry continued, stating, “This comes amidst the commission of more massacres in the Gaza Strip, the destruction of entire residential neighborhoods over the heads of their inhabitants, the tormenting of civilians, and the imposing of displacement on them. This is happening under the backdrop of intensifying collective punishments.”
The Foreign Ministry emphasized, “The ongoing episodes of genocide and the comprehensive destruction of Palestinian lives are a direct and continuous Israeli translation of the self-defense argument.”
The Ministry questioned, “How much more Palestinian blood and lives do [some countries] want before they reconsider and realize the urgent necessity of an immediate, humane ceasefire? Are they waiting for the displacement of millions of Palestinians to understand the real objectives of Netanyahu’s war?”
