Palestine on Thursday condemned the Israeli government’s policy of storming Palestinian towns and cities in the West Bank, which leads to daily killing and wounding of Palestinians.
Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the spokesman of the Palestinian presidency, said in a press statement that “the continuation of the Israeli escalation against our people will explode the situation in the region and push it to a stage that is difficult to control.”
On Thursday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said in a statement that three Palestinians were killed and four others injured during an Israeli raid on the northern West Bank city of Nablus.
Israeli soldiers have repeatedly stormed Palestinian areas since early January, and the escalating tension between the two sides since then has led to the killing of more than 100 Palestinians and 19 Israelis, according to official figures from both sides.
Abu Rudeineh said that the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “is fully and directly responsible for this escalation, which always pushes for more tension and violence.”
He called on the U.S. and the international community “to immediately intervene and press Israel to stop its aggressive policy against the Palestinians, their land, and their sanctities.”
Meanwhile, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Ishtaye said in an official press statement that “the Israeli government is fully responsible for the crimes and violations it commits against the Palestinian people.”
He called on the international community “to unify their standards and hold the Israeli government accountable for its horrific crimes and continuous violations against the Palestinian people.”
