An-Najah News - In a statement, the ministry's spokesman Dhaifallah Ali Al-Fayez also denounced legalizing two settlement outposts erected on Palestinian lands.

He said This step is a flagrant and grave breach of international law and resolutions of international legitimacy, mainly the UN Security Council Resolution 2334.

Al-Fayez said Jordan rejects and condemns illegal settlement policy, whether building or expanding settlements, seizing lands, and displacing Palestinians.

He stressed that this Israeli decision violates international law and undermines the foundations of peace, and efforts exerted to resolve the conflict and to achieve a comprehensive and just peace

An-Najah News - Extremist Israeli settlers attacked last night Palestinian vehicles driving at the main Nablus-Ramallah road with stones, near the village of Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya, according to local sources.

Settlers from Eli and Shilo settlements gathered at the main street and hurled stones at Palestinian vehicles driving at the road.

The attacks occurred in full sight of Israeli occupation soldiers who did nothing to stop the attack and rather set up two checkpoints and forced Palestinian drivers to use alternative routes.

There has been an increase in settler-related attacks against Palestinians and their properties during the past few week.

Settler violence against Palestinians and their property is commonplace in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli occupation authorities.
