The Arab Parliament has strongly condemned the recent escalations in the West Bank, which include raids and attacks by Israeli occupation forces in the cities of Ramallah, Al-Bireh and Al-Khalil against Palestinian citizens.

These events are carried out as armed settlers intensify their assaults on Palestinian villages and towns, all under the protection of the occupation forces.

In a statement, the President of the Arab Parliament, Mohamed bin Ahmed Al Yamahi, affirmed that these violations and attacks are a continuation of the genocidal war, systematic starvation and displacement policies pursued by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip.

He noted that these actions are in blatant defiance of all international and humanitarian laws and norms, and show a complete disregard for resolutions of international legitimacy.

The Arab Parliament has also condemned the recent strikes by Israel on Nasser Hospital in Gaza.
