TEHRAN (IQNA) – The Palestinian Authority’s Foreign Ministry in a statement denounced the Zionist regime’s project to build settlements in an area north of occupied Jerusalem al-Quds.

 

The construction of the settlements are part of the Israeli attempts on Judaization of Quds and separating it from Palestinian lands, the statement said, Anadolu Agency reported.

It called on the international community to fulfill their responsibility in standing up to the intensified settlement building activities by the Tel Aviv regime.

The statement also called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to start investigations into the Zionist regime official’s crimes and bring criminal Israeli officials to justice.

Most of the international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank to be illegal.

Palestinians seek an independent state in the West Bank, East Jerusalem aal-Quds and the Gaza Strip, areas occupied by Israel in the 1967 war.
