Foreign Ministry: Israel’s legalization of outposts is a coup against international legitimacy

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said today the far-right Israeli government's legalization of a number of outposts in the occupied West Bank amounts to a coup against international legitimacy. In a press statement, the Foreign Ministry also condemned the provocative incursion by the extremist Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir into Jebal Sabih, where the illegal Evyatar outpost is located, and the racist statements he made while he was there. While on a provocative visit to the outpost, Ben-Gvir called for the government to immediately approve the Evyatar outpost. He also urged the government to launch a large-scale military attack in the West Bank, saying Israeli forces need to kill "thousands of terrorists." 'This escalation permanently closes the door to any opportunity to revive the peace process, and to implement the principle of the two-state solution. This is an official Israeli disregard for international legitimacy and its resolutions, international law, and Israel's obligations as an occupying power,' the Foreign Ministry said.
