In a brief communique, the head of Government denounced the death of 19-year-old Nehad Amin Barghouti, from the West Bank town of Kafr Ein, as a result of gunshot fired by Tel Aviv soldiers during confrontations.

For its part, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs described Barghouti’s death as “another act in a series of extrajudicial executions committed by Israeli soldiers against the Palestinians.”

The Foreign Ministry urged the international community to pressure Tel Aviv to stop its attacks while it called on the International Criminal Court to start an investigation on the Israeli crimes.
