- Kingdom鈥檚 foreign ministry said the move would violate international laws
RIYADH: A government minister鈥檚 threat for Israel to apply full sovereignty over the occupied West Bank was strongly condemned by 海角直播 on Wednesday.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the Kingdom 鈥渃ondemned and denunciated鈥� the statement made by the Israeli official calling for the imposition of sovereignty over the Palestinian territory.
Such action would be a violation of international law, the statement said. 海角直播 rejects any attempts to expand settlements on Palestinian land, the ministry added, while reiterating the Kingdom鈥檚 position on the importance of Israel abiding by international resolutions.
The statement followed comments from Israel鈥檚 Justice Minister Yariv Levin saying 鈥渢he time has come鈥� for Israel to apply sovereignty across the West Bank.
Israel occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1967 and has built dozens of settlements, deemed illegal under international law, across the territory.
The Saudi foreign ministry offered its support for the Palestinian people in restoring their legitimate rights and in establishing a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
