Jordan, Qatar, and Turkey condemn Israel's decision to record and settle West Bank lands
Jordan, Qatar, and Turkey have condemned Israel's decision to begin procedures for the registration and settlement of large areas of occupied West Bank land as 'state land'.
Jordan, Qatar, and Turkey have collectively denounced Israel's recent decision to register and settle vast portions of occupied West Bank land. This action has been characterized as an unprecedented escalation that encourages Israeli dominance and imposes realities through military force. Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed strong condemnation, labeling the move as a blatant violation of international law and an infringement on the Palestinian people's right to self-determination. The government emphasized the illegitimacy of Israeli sovereignty over the occupied territories, arguing that it contradicts UN Security Council resolutions and the advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice that deemed the occupation and settlements illegal.
Moreover, the Jordanian Foreign Ministry has highlighted the potential repercussions of continued Israeli 'illegal' policies in the West Bank and Jerusalem. It urged the international community to take decisive action that would compel Israel to halt its unilateral measures and uphold the rights of the Palestinian people. This appeal underscores the growing frustration in the Arab region regarding the lack of effective responses to Israeli actions that are seen as undermining peace efforts and the prospects for a two-state solution.
The Qatari Foreign Ministry also expressed strong disapproval of the Israeli decision, framing it as an appropriation of Palestinian rights. This condemnation from multiple Arab nations reflects a collective discontent towards Israeli policies in the occupied territories and calls for a unified stance within the region against what they perceive as aggressive actions that threaten regional stability and the rights of Palestinians.
