Amman, Aug. 14 (Petra)– The Ministry of Foreign and Expatriates
Affairs condemned the continued and escalating settler terrorism
against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, most recently the
attacks in the town of Qusra in Nablus Governorate, holding Israel,
the occupying power, responsible for the assaults.

Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Fouad Majali affirmed Jordan’s
absolute rejection of the condemned acts of terrorism repeatedly
committed by settlers against Palestinians, describing them as a
result and extension of the extremist Israeli government’s policies.

He said the attacks come amid continued unlawful Israeli measures in
the occupied West Bank, which fuel extremism and violence against the
Palestinian people and undermine prospects for achieving peace based
on the two-state solution.

Majali called on the international community to assume its legal and
moral responsibilities and compel Israel, as the occupying power, to
halt settler terrorism, hold those responsible for crimes against
Palestinians accountable, and ensure that they do not enjoy impunity.

He also called for the realization of the legitimate rights of the
Palestinian people, foremost among them the establishment of an
independent and sovereign Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967
borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, describing this as the
only path toward achieving a just and comprehensive peace that
guarantees security and stability in the region.
