Palestinian Foreign Ministry Condemns Israeli Plan to Occupy 100 Strategic Points in Area A

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry sharply condemned a plan by Israeli settlement groups to occupy approximately 100 strategic locations within Area A, which is under full Palestinian civil and security control. The ministry issued a strong denunciation on Tuesday, labeling the initiative a "dangerous settlement plan" aimed at creating new facts on the ground in the occupied Palestinian territories.

This response followed reports that settlement organizations had developed a detailed plan to take control of these points "on command day," a scenario presented to senior Israeli government officials, including ministers, as part of potential future preparations. The Palestinian Authority views this move as a systematic war crime that undermines security, stability, and the implementation of a two-state solution.

The Foreign Ministry reiterated its rejection of any Israeli sovereignty claims over Judea, Samaria, and East Jerusalem, emphasizing that Israel has no legitimate sovereignty over any part of the occupied Palestinian land, with Jerusalem as its capital. The statement further declared Israeli settlements illegitimate and contrary to international law and the international community's stance.
