Palestinian Foreign Ministry Calls for International Sanctions Against Israeli Settlers

Palestinian Foreign Ministry Calls for International Sanctions Against Israeli Settlers, on Monday, where he urged the international community to intervene in the west bank, denouncing ongoing violations and attacks against Palestinians, according to the Wafa news agency.

In a statement, the ministry listed recent assaults, including attacks on workers at a waste disposal site in Beit Anan, the Zanouta school, Palestinian civilians at Al-Auja spring, and the sabotage of farmers’ water pipelines. Further incidents involved attacks on vehicles in northern Hebron, northeast Ramallah, and the villages of Sinjil, Turmus Ayya, and Beita.

The ministry also reported that settlers have seized and cultivated Palestinian land in the northern Jordan Valley and intensified assaults in Masafer Yatta, near Hebron. It condemned these actions as being carried out under political protection from Israeli authorities, with direct military backing used to suppress Palestinians defending their property.

Labeling these acts as part of a wider strategy of ethnic cleansing, forced displacement, and annexation, the ministry criticized what it described as the inadequate international response to the escalating settler violence. It renewed its call for sanctions against the entire settlement system and demanded genuine international pressure to dismantle settler outposts and hold those responsible accountable.
