In a statement, the Foreign Ministry called these remarks colonialist and racist, and an extension of the war of genocide and displacement against the Palestinian people.

Such pronouncements constitute a persistent disregard for international legitimacy, United Nations resolutions and the international consensus reached on the two-state solution, it stressed.

It further pointed out that the international failure to implement the relevant international resolutions encourages the ruling right in Israel to persist in its crimes and violations aimed at eliminating the Palestinian issue and undermining the opportunity to implement the two-State solution.

The Ministry called for a firm international response to these positions through a UN resolution issued by the Security Council to grant the State of Palestine full membership in the United Nations, impose an end to the genocidal war and adopt binding mechanisms to implement the General Assembly resolution on the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice.
