Ramallah, March 12. - The Palestinian Foreign Ministry today accused Israel of promoting a policy of hunger and thirst against Gaza by preventing the entry of vital supplies to that territory, which suffered 15 months of Army attacks.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said in a statement that this strategy is one more tool in the war of extermination promoted by Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
The campaign includes attempts to displace our people and the annexation of Palestinian lands, it emphasized.
The text also condemned the crimes in the occupied West Bank, especially in the northern area, where the Israeli Army has been carrying out a campaign for more than 50 days.
According to official data, more than 40,000 people fled their homes in the Jenin and Tulkarem governorates due to military operations.
We view with great concern the increase in attacks, rapes, and abuses committed "in a systematic, provocative, barbaric, and intentional manner" against our compatriots, the statement emphasized.
The Foreign Ministry questioned the international community's silence in the face of "the manifestations of famine, genocide, and displacement" carried out by the neighboring country's security forces.
The crimes in Jenin and Tulkarm confirm the world's failure to implement its decisions to stop the open and extensive aggression of the Israeli government, it stated.
It is necessary to force that country to respect international norms and precautionary orders issued by the International Court of Justice to stop the violence, it emphasized.
Eleven days ago, Netanyahu ordered the closure of Gaza's border crossings and the prevention of the entry of vital goods, and then also stopped the electricity supply, as part of a strategy to pressure the Hamas militia to force it to accept a ceasefire agreement favorable to Israel.
