Presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh said in a statement that recent attacks, particularly in the town of Qusra south of Nablus, the siege of Palestinian families and attempts to establish settlement outposts on their land represent a dangerous escalation aimed at imposing new facts on the ground and displacing Palestinians.

“The continuation of these attacks, along with Israeli crimes in the occupied West Bank, including East al-Quds, undermines the chances of achieving peace and stability and threatens to ignite the situation in the region,” Abu Rudeineh said.

He called on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to “assume its responsibilities” and compel Israel to halt its “comprehensive aggression” against Palestinians, end occupier attacks, provide international protection for Palestinians and hold perpetrators of violations accountable.

“Achieving security, stability and a just and comprehensive peace requires ending the Israeli occupation and realizing the independence of the State of Palestine on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Quds as its capital, based on international legitimacy resolutions,” Abu Rudeineh said.

The developments come amid a heavy Israeli military deployment in Qusra in recent days, with hundreds of soldiers sent to the area under the pretext of dismantling a settlement outpost established by occupiers near the town.
