The PNC addresses the world's parliaments and unions on Israeli annexation plans and settlement measures

PNC informed the world's parliaments and federations of the seriousness of the new Israeli settlement measures, which come in the context of confiscating inalienable Palestinian rights, in various ways, foremost of which is the confiscation of land and the transfer of land to settlers / colonists in the territories of the occupied Palestinian state.

In identical messages sent by PNC Speaker, Saleem Al-Za’anoon to the heads of the Arab, Islamic, African, Asian parliamentary unions, the Arab Parliament, the European Parliament, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, and the European and Euro-Mediterranean parliamentary assemblies, he called for the mobilization of a broader international refusal, and to confront the settler occupation’s policy, projects, and procedures in nibbling and annexing Palestinian land, in addition to confronting the displacement of Palestinian people from their lands and deprive them of their natural wealth and possessions.

In its letter, PNC warned that the annexation of the Jordan Valley and the so-called natural habitats will make it impossible to establish the State of Palestine with its capital, Jerusalem, on the borders of 4th of June 1967, and this is a systemic failure to endeavors for a two-state solution, and will lead to turning the occupation into a permanent colonial state, which is a gross violation of the principles and rules of international law and international legitimacy resolutions, the latest of which is a decision of United Nations Security Council No. 2334.

PNC affirms that Israel is accelerating the pace in controlling the lands of the territory of the State of Palestine, using excuses that are not supported by legal argument, such as using the terms “natural habitats”, “military training bases”, “state lands” and “national parks” …etc, which are nothing but names occupation gave to plans and projects for plundering Palestinian land, and stopping Palestinian expansion in it, in favor of settlements.

PNC stresses that Israel would not have committed these violations that international humanitarian law classifies as war crimes and crimes against humanity, without the support of the American Administration, whose ambassador in Israel announced its support for the annexation of the Palestinian West Bank and passing of the so-called "deal of the century", depending on what the US Secretary of State announced about the "legitimacy" of the Israeli settlements.

In the absence of accountability and sanctions, Israel will continue to commit such crimes and challenge international law, the PNC affirmed. Lately Netanyahu government classified 20% of the Palestinian Valleys’ as “natural habitats” and “national parks”, besides its continued constructing of settlements, threats to demolish all Palestinian homes in Area "C", and forced displacement of its residents.

PNC affirms that this method is used as an excuse to annex the land, which is the goal of the Israeli Minister of War approval to establish 7 and expand other 12 habitats, some of which are located on private land for Palestinians, as a step to impose control and de facto annexation of the Palestinian valleys.

The PNC called on the parliamentary unions to take practical measures to ensure adherence to the principles and rules of international law, implement relevant international legitimacy decisions, and exert sufficient pressure on the Israeli (Parliament) Knesset, to stop its legalizing of these occupation policies, and to stop justifying them with legal concepts and terms, which makes the Knesset a partner in its commission.

In its letter, PNC explained the consequences of the Israeli Minister of War decision to study the registration of Palestinian lands in the area named "C", in the Land Registry of the Israeli Ministry of Justice, instead of the so-called "Civil Administration", and then followed up with establishing of a new Israeli body to consolidate settlement in the territories of the State of Palestine, However, this Body is a new annexation and settlement tool.

The ways and means of Israel occupation controlled 700 sq km as natural habitats in the Palestinian West Bank, the PNC explained, and most of which are located in Area C, which is 3456 sq km, and constitutes 61% of the West Bank, thus Israeli occupation has controlled 70% of the total lands of these areas, including land, water, and roads.

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. The Council then formed an all-Palestine government headed by Hilmi Abdel Baqi, who represented Palestine in the league of Arab States.The first national conference was held inJerusalem on 28May -2June 1964. This first National Council had 422 members, declared the establishment of the PlO, which represents the leadership of the Palestinian Arab people. The most important of which is the Palestinian National Charter, the Statutes of the Organization and others, and Mr. Ahmad Al-Shukairy was elected Chairman of the PlO.
