Palestine accused Israel of waging a comprehensive war in the West Bank, particularly in the northern regions, resulting in crimes of murder, displacement, and destruction of property. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Information, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, denounced that Israeli forces are carrying out a systematic campaign of destruction in the cities of Jenin and Tulkarm, as well as in the surrounding camps.
Abu Rudeineh pointed out that this campaign has led to the deaths of dozens of civilians, while the international community remains silent in the face of Israel's plans for racist annexation and territorial expansion. He called for the intervention of the United States administration to stop Israel's current aggression against the Palestinian people and land, warning that a lack of action will only empower Israel and lead to an uncontrollable escalation of violence.
The Palestinian minister emphatically declared that the Palestinian people will not accept any displacement plan or the creation of a new homeland. Since the escalation of tensions in October 2023, the West Bank has witnessed an increase in violence, with over 800 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
"Threatening our people will benefit no one and will only lead to widespread destruction, both here and in the broader region," added Abu Rudeineh. On January 21, the Israeli military launched a military operation called "Iron Wall" in Jenin and its refugee camp, as well as in other areas of northern West Bank, claiming that the aim was to target militants and dismantle terrorist infrastructures.
