"Palestinian National"The occupation’s approval of the establishment of 19 new settlements is a double violation of international law
President of the Palestinian National Council, Rawhi Fattouh, said that Israel’s approval of the establishment of 19 new settlements in the West Bank; Including two settlements that were previously evacuated, it constitutes a double violation of international law and a flagrant violation of the resolutions of international legitimacy and the fatwas of international judicial bodies, most notably the relevant Security Council resolutions, especially Resolution 2334, as well as the advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice, which confirmed the illegality of settlement and every measure aimed at changing the demographic and legal character of the occupied Palestinian territories.
Ftouh added – according to a statement issued. About him, today, Friday, and it was broadcast by the Palestinian News Agency, “Wafa.” – What happened represents a systematic expansion of a colonial structure that is trying to impose coercive facts on the ground through what can be described as a de facto colonial authority, an authority prohibited by the rules of public international law and the Rome Statute.
He stressed that these decisions are “null and of no effect,” calling on the international community, the United Nations, the states parties to the Geneva Conventions, and international oversight bodies to take action. It is obligatory to stop this escalation, ensure the protection of the Palestinian people and their inalienable rights, and hold accountable everyone who participates in the expansion of the colonies or provides them with political or administrative cover.
