Ambassador Tamer Almassri strongly condemns the ongoing Israeli military aggression against Palestinian refugee camps and towns in the West Bank, which has entered its 14th consecutive day killing over 25 Palestinians while dozens injured and detained. The attacks, concentrated in Jenin camp, Al-Far’a camp, Tulkarm camp, and the town of Tamoun, south of Tubas, represent a grave escalation of violence and a blatant disregard for international law by the Israeli forces.
The scale of destruction is immense, with dozens of homes demolished or blown by fighter jets, displacing over 15,000 innocent Palestinians, especially in Jenin camp. The Israeli criminal military is preventing these displaced families from returning to their homes with a clear intent of ethnic cleansing and a systematic act of genocide as it did in Gaza.
The Israeli forces have also besieged the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital and the Israa Specialized Hospital, obstructing the vital work of ambulances and medical crews are being subjected to searches and field investigations, while surrounding buildings are being used as military outposts and sniper locations, further endangering civilians.
The state of Palestine demands an emergency and urgent session of the International Security Council, to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Palestinian people and calls on the international community to take immediate action to demand an immediate cessation of Israeli military aggression against Palestinian civilians and hold Israel accountable for its violations of international humanitarian law.
The international community must not stand idly by while Israel continues its systematic campaign of violence and displacement against the Palestinian people. The time for decisive action is now.
