Palestinian Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh said on Tuesday that he has barred all Palestinian institutions from engaging with measures approved by Israel\u2019s Security Cabinet in the occupied West Bank and called for a \u201cfirm response\u201d.<\/p>\n
The decision came after the Cabinet approved measures aimed at changing the legal and civil status in the West Bank and deepening Israel\u2019s grip on the occupied Palestinian territory.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Palestinian leadership has called on all civil and security institutions in the State of Palestine not to engage with the occupation\u2019s measures, and to reject them, and adhere to the Palestinian laws enacted in the State of Palestine, in accordance with international law and signed agreements,\u201d Sheikh said on X.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Israel\u2019s Security Cabinet ordered the repealing of a law barring the sale of Palestinian land to Jews in the occupied West Bank, unsealing land ownership records and transferring building permit authority in a Hebron settlement bloc from the Palestinian municipality to Israel\u2019s civil administration.<\/p>\n
The measures also expand Israeli oversight and enforcement into areas classified as Area A and Area B, citing alleged violations related to unlicensed construction, water issues and damage to archaeological and environmental sites.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe urge the Palestinian people to remain steadfast and resilient on their land, and to categorically reject dealing with the occupation\u2019s laws, the most recent ones approved by the Israeli government a few days ago, which contradict international law and the agreements signed with the Palestine Liberation Organization,\u201d Sheikh said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also call on the international community to take a firm stand against Israel\u2019s extreme-right government and its expansionist, racist and settler-colonial occupation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Palestinian Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh said on Tuesday that he has barred all Palestinian institutions from engaging with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":283983,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43],"class_list":{"0":"post-283982","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-israel","8":"tag-il","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283982\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
