Palestine National Council (PNC) appreciated the invitation of members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to their Foreign Minister to prevent Israel from displacing Palestinian families from their homes in the occupied city of Jerusalem, based on Israeli colonial allegations invalidated by the rules of international law, international legitimacy decisions, Geneva conventions related, and criminalized by the International Criminal Court.
In a press statement, today, Tuesday, the Speaker of PNC, Saleem Al-Za’anoon, welcomed, the statement of 81 British MPs addressed to the Foreign Minister Dominic Raab to put pressure on Israel to prevent the displacement of Palestinian families from their homes in occupied Jerusalem, by Jewish settlement organizations, this statement came in a response to the acceleration of theft and seizure of Palestinian homes in the occupied city by these Israeli organizations.
Mr. Al-Za’anoon considered that this position represents a strong message to everyone who violates international law, the Charter of Human Rights and the provisions of Geneva Conventions, and practices crimes of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people, and he considered it a parliamentary response to the settlement projects in the Palestinian territories in favor of the Jewish colonial project led by the Israeli occupation government, and settlement organizations such as "Ateret Cohanim" and "Shimon HaTzaddik Company".
Mr. Al-Za’anoon explained the importance of what was stated in that letter, urging the British government not to be satisfied with diplomatic action, given the seriousness of the violations and crimes committed by the Israeli occupation authorities against the Palestinians, but rather the need to make it clear to Israel that relations between the two countries may not continue as usual, as long as Israel is proceeding to implement its plans of the displacement of Palestinians, and "all that actions must be taken into consideration".
Mr. Al-Za’anoon also called on the International Parliamentary Union, regional and international associations and the parliaments of the world to adopt positions similar to that of members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, and to pressure their governments to take practical measures to force the Israeli occupation government to stop its settlement project in the Palestinian lands, which is considered occupied territories under international law.
