Ramallah: The Palestinian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday called on the international community to move beyond statements and compel Israel to end its campaign of genocide, forced displacement, and land annexation across the Palestinian territories. In a statement, the ministry said international inaction and silence have become a 'cover' for Israel to continue its crimes, warning that failure to uphold international law risks replacing global legitimacy with 'the law of the jungle.' The statement comes amid a surge in attacks by illegal Israeli settlers and military raids in the occupied West Bank.

According to Anadolu Agency, in the early hours of Tuesday, extremist Israeli settlers torched two Palestinian vehicles and vandalized property in the village of Beitin, east of Ramallah. In the nearby town of Turmus Ayya, settlers broke into a Palestinian home and stole part of its contents, eyewitnesses reported. Abdullah Abbas, a 73-year-old resident of Beitin whose vehicle was destroyed, stated that the attacks occurred while Israeli forces were present in the area, describing it as 'the reality of occupation.'

Data from the Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission indicate that illegal settlers carried out more than 2,150 attacks in the first half of 2025 alone, resulting in at least four Palestinian deaths. Simultaneously, Israeli forces stormed the cities of Tubas and Tammun in the northern West Bank, raiding homes and commercial buildings. Witnesses reported heavy military reinforcements and low-flying reconnaissance drones during the operation.

Since the start of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, nearly 1,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 7,000 injured in the West Bank by Israeli forces and illegal settlers, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. In a landmark opinion last July, the International Court of Justice declared Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
