The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned the decision of the Israeli occupation authorities to close the street of the town of Huwwara, south of Nablus, to Palestinian vehicles, and to allow only settler vehicles.
In a statement today, Wednesday, the Ministry considered that this decision was in compliance with the positions of the extremist Minister Ben Gvir, in which he bragged that the movement of colonists was more important than the freedom of the Palestinians.
She saw this decision as extremely dangerous, as it is a policy of isolation and apartheid that divides the West Bank into racist, discriminatory “Bantustans,” and gives the colonizers the largest area of its geography to deepen colonization, under the pretext of movement and flimsy “security” pretexts, all of which feed into the Israeli occupation’s policy aimed at annexing the West Bank and imposing control. The Israeli government has seized more lands, imposing unprecedented collective punishments on Palestinian citizens, increasing their suffering, including the sick, children, and the elderly, paralyzing their movement and further weakening their economy.
She said that the international community’s reactions to Ben Gvir’s statement at the time were low and did not rise to the level of the crime of apartheid and the persecution and injustice our people are exposed to.
She pointed out that the occupation authorities do not close any street in front of the vehicles of the colonists who destroy Palestinian vehicles and attack them.
The Foreign Ministry stressed that the occupation authorities are continuing to annex the West Bank and impose “apartheid” and its crimes on our people with shameful international complicity.
