Palestinian foreign ministry condemns Smotrich remarks as call for escalation in West Bank

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned Israeli Minister Bezalel Smotrich's recent remarks, which the ministry views as an explicit call for escalation and violence in the West Bank. Smotrich's statements echo the aggression seen in Gaza and call for dismantling the Palestinian National Authority, actions that the ministry deems a violation of international law and agreements.

The ministry asserts that Smotrich's comments reflect the Israeli government's intent to pursue annexation and forced displacement, undermining the possibility of an independent Palestinian state. They have urged the international community, particularly the UN Security Council and the US administration, to intervene and prevent further aggression against the Palestinian people.
