Minister of Foreign Affairs, Varsen Aghabekian, accuses the international community of ‘compliance’ and classifies ‘useless’ statements and statements of repudiation without taking action and taking action
O on Wednesday (20) requested an “true” international intervention and the imposition of sanctions against Israel, after the government of It approved the construction of new settlements that divide the north and southern Somitus occupied. “(It is necessary) a true international intervention and the imposition of sanctions on the occupation to oblige it to deter the application of its plans and to fulfill the international consensus on the solution of the Palestinian issue,” said in a statement, released by the official Palestinian agency “Wafa”, Minister Varsen Aghabekian.
In the text, Aghabekian accuses the international community of “complacency” and classifies the statements and statements of repudiation without taking action, as Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory are illegal, according to international law. “The mere statements of conviction and complaint are useless in this case and do not protect the solution of two states, especially in the light of Israel’s official public boasting to attack the Palestinian state and work to thwart the opportunity to implement it,” he added.
The construction of colonies in the “E1” area, which will occur east of Jerusalem, had been frozen for over two decades due to international and United States pressure. Its location is strategic because this area joined the main Palestinian cities of Ramala, in northern West Bank, with Belém, in the south. After his approval today, in a statement, Israeli finance and settler Minister Bezalel Smotrich assured that “the Palestinian state is being destroyed, not with slogans, but with facts.”
More than 700,000 Israeli settlers live in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, both territories occupied by Israel since the 1967 war. In addition, the Israeli government openly supports the presence of settlers with the creation of roads, the supply of electricity and subsidies to Jewish families that move to the West Bank.
