UAE condemns Israeli minister's call for sovereignty over occupied West Bank

WAM

The UAE has strongly condemned Israeli Justice Minister Yariv Levin's statements that called for expanding the scope of settlements in the occupied Palestinian West Bank.

The UAE affirmed that such statements constitute a serious escalation and a violation of resolutions on international legitimacy.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) expressed the UAE’s categorical rejection of all statements, measures, and practices aimed at altering the legal status of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and threatening further escalation and instability in the region.

The Ministry stressed the need to support all regional and international efforts to advance the peace process in the Middle East, and end illegal practices that undermine the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

The Ministry also called on the international community to intensify efforts to reach an immediate ceasefire to avoid further loss of life, prevent fueling the situation, and advance all efforts to achieve peace and stability. 

The UAE is steadfast in its commitment to reinforcing peace and justice, and safeguarding the legitimate rights of the Palestinians.
