The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemns in the strongest terms the ongoing war of extermination and displacement against our people for the 332nd consecutive day, which leaves more martyrs and wounded, deepens the comprehensive humanitarian catastrophe among defenseless civilians, and imposes on them more forced displacement and migration in search of any safe area that is not available to them in the Gaza Strip. The latest of these crimes was the bombing of the Safad School, which shelters displaced people, and left a large number of martyrs and wounded.
The Ministry believes that the failure of the international community to achieve and impose an immediate ceasefire gives Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ruling right-wing coalition the opportunity to gain more time to prolong the war and extend his stay in power. For this reason, it has become clear that Netanyahu continues to impose new facts on the ground in the Gaza Strip and has appointed military officials to manage its civil affairs, and is consecrating the occupation of the Strip and controlling its borders under flimsy pretexts and excuses, and is disrupting and sabotaging the truce negotiations. The Israeli government is also resorting to the cycle of violence and igniting fires in the conflict arena and is seeking to expand its circles to include the occupied West Bank and the region to achieve the same goals. Netanyahu is negotiating for the sake of negotiations as usual and has turned the regional and international efforts exerted to reach a ceasefire agreement into a crisis, which he oversees and deepens without resolving.
The Ministry confirms that the conditions promoted by Netanyahu for the day after the war and his rejection of the return of the Gaza Strip to Palestinian legitimacy fall within the framework of his policy based on continuing the separation between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to undermine the opportunity to embody the Palestinian people’s state.
The Ministry warns of the dangers of the international community coexisting with this expansionist colonial policy and calls for exposing it and taking the necessary practical measures to reject it and achieve an immediate ceasefire as a more positive climate for continuing negotiations on the armistice and exchange agreement, which will protect our people from the scourge of the escalating war of extermination and displacement and lead to the complete Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and the land of the State of Palestine, considering this the correct approach to achieving security, stability and prosperity in the region, its countries and its peoples.
