The Likud's decision to annex the West Bank is an open war against the Palestinian people

The Palestinian National Council considered that the decision of the Likud Party, which leads the settler government in Israel to impose Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank, is an open war against the Palestinian people and its inalienable rights.

The Palestinian National Council (PNC) said in a statement issued by its speaker Salim Al-Za'noun "that the decision represents the epitome of terrorism and aggression against the rights of the Palestinian people. It is a translation of the policies of colonialism, extremism and arrogance that is rooted in the mentality of the Likud party and its leaders."

The PNC stressed that this decision is a clear violation of our historic rights in our land and an attack on UN resolutions that considered the West Bank, including Jerusalem, occupied Palestinian territories that no party, president or government can change its legal character. Calling on the UN Security Council and the General Assembly to reject this resolution and condemn it, and put an end to this arrogance and reckless challenge, which is an explicit declaration against peace and stability in the region.

The PNC stressed that the Israeli occupation government led by the Likud party bears full responsibility for the repercussions of this decision, which was based on the offensive American Administration's decisions, which opened the door wide to the extremism of the Israeli government and its aggression and defiance of the relevant resolutions of international legitimacy that rejected all forms of colonial settlement in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The PNC affirmed that the Palestinian people remain rooted in this land and will resist this decision and work on nullifying it to live freely in their homeland. And reaffirming the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent and sovereign Palestinian State on all the territories occupied in 1967 with Jerusalem as its capital, free of all aspects of settlement and its consequences, in addition to the refugees right of return to their homes.

The PNC represents the supreme authority of the Palestinian people in all their places of residence. It sets PLO policies and plans to achieve the goals of the Palestinian people for self-determination, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital and the return of refugees to their homes.After Al-Nakba (catastrophe) of 1948, the Arab Higher Committee for Palestine, headed by Haj Amin Al-Husseini, decided to call for the convening of a Palestine National Council which met in Gaza in 1October 1948, which was the first Palestinian legislative authority to be established in the Arab state of Palestine.
