The spokesman for the presidency of the Palestinian Authority, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, said that Israel’s escalating operation in the occupied West Bank on the cities, villages and camps of Jenin, Tulkarem, Tubas, in addition to the offensive in the Gaza Strip, will lead to “dire and dangerous” results, Al Jazeera reports.

Abu Rudeineh said Israel’s escalating policy, the destruction of cities, the killing of citizens, detentions and colonisation, will not bring security and stability to anyone.

Abu Rudeineh called on the US to intervene immediately and force Israeli authorities to stop their “comprehensive war” on the Palestinian people, “The world must take immediate and urgent action to curb this extremist government that poses a threat to the stability of the region and the world as a whole,” he said.
