Ramallah:The Palestinian presidency has criticized Israeli policies, claiming they are maintaining the region on the "brink of a volcano." The statement came after recent escalations in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank.

According to Anadolu Agency – English, Presidential spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh made remarks following an Israeli attack on the Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of six Palestinians, including a child and a doctor. The attack also left 30 others injured and was part of broader continued Israeli violations of a ceasefire agreement announced on October 10, 2025.

Abu Rudeineh emphasized that ongoing Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank contribute to increasing tension and instability. He highlighted the daily deaths of Palestinians in Gaza and criticized the restrictions on crossings that prevent essential medical supplies and food from reaching the enclave, exacerbating the suffering of Palestinians as winter approaches.

In addition to the situation in Gaza, Abu Rudeineh warned of escalating attacks in the occupied West Bank, particularly noting the assault on the Attara village in Ramallah. The attack involved hundreds of occupiers storming the area under the protection of Israeli forces, resulting in injuries to an elderly man and damage to homes and vehicles.

He attributed the violence to repeated efforts to terrorize residents and destroy property, holding the Israeli government accountable for the consequences of these actions. Abu Rudeineh called on the United States to take a serious and immediate stance to halt the attacks, asserting that doing so is essential for achieving regional calm and stability.
