Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has condemned the continued escalation of settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, most recently attacks in the town of Qusra in Nablus governorate.
The ministry held ‘Israel’, the occupying power, responsible for the attacks.
Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Fouad Al-Majali said Jordan categorically rejects what he described as condemned acts of settler terrorism against Palestinians.
He said the attacks were a consequence and extension of the policies of the ‘Israeli’ government, taking place alongside continued unlawful ‘Israeli’ measures in the occupied West Bank.
According to Al-Majali, such policies fuel extremism and violence against the Palestinian people and undermine prospects for achieving peace based on the two-state solution.
Al-Majali urged the international community to fulfill its legal and moral responsibilities by compelling ‘Israel’, as the occupying power, to stop settler violence and hold those responsible for crimes against Palestinians accountable.
He also called for ensuring that perpetrators do not enjoy impunity and for upholding the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them the establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
He described this as the only path toward achieving a just and comprehensive peace that guarantees security and stability in the region.
