RAMALLAH: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates today strongly condemned the field executions of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, stressing this will only drag the region into further escalation and blow up the situation.

‘The series of field executions committed by the Israeli occupation army in the West Bank is clear evidence that the ruling Israeli right is the one seeking to blow up the situation during the month of Ramadan, and enter it into a never-ending cycle of violence.’

The Ministry said, in a statement, that Israel’s continued impunity from punishment and accountability encourages it to commit more war crimes.

The Ministry further strongly denounced the surge in extrajudicial killings and field executions committed by the occupation forces against Palestinian people, resulting so far in the killing of over six people, including children, in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem,

The Ministry described them as “war crimes and crimes against humanity.”

It pointed out
“What is happening is a translation of the instructions of the political and military level in the occupying state, which makes it easier for soldiers and colonists to shoot citizens, and a direct reflection of an official Israeli policy and a racist, retaliatory colonial mentality in dealing with the Palestinians.”
