The Palestinian foreign ministry has warned “against attempts to detonate the situation in the occupied West Bank, in search of justifications to copy the crimes of genocide and displacement committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip, and transfer them to the West Bank”, Al Jazeera reports.

Its statement denounced the “violent chaos” of the settlers’ “brutal attacks”.

The ministry said it held the international community responsible for “its failure to fulfill its obligations towards our people” and demanded international sanctions on Israel and its settler organisations.

It said it is working with humanitarian organisations to put international pressure on the Israeli government to ensure the settler attacks stop.
