Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday strongly condemned recent remarks by Israeli officials advocating for the annexation of the occupied West Bank, most notably statements made by the Israeli regime’s justice minister.

In an official statement, the ministry expressed “categorical rejection” of what it called “blatantly unlawful statements,” asserting that they violate international law and aim to entrench the illegal occupation of Palestinian land.

The ministry reaffirmed Egypt’s unwavering support for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on the June 4, 1967, borders, with the eastern part of al-Quds as its capital, and called the Israeli annexation rhetoric a direct threat to Palestinian self-determination.

“These declarations undermine the regional integrity of the Palestinian territories and are incompatible with efforts to realize the legitimate national aspirations of the Palestinian people,” the statement read.

Ongoing Israeli violations in West Bank

The Egyptian government also denounced ongoing Israeli violations in the occupied West Bank, including raids, arrests, and settlement expansion, which it described as illegal and deliberate escalations coinciding with the destruction unfolding in the Gaza Strip.

“These actions constitute crimes targeting every aspect of Palestinian life and resilience,” the statement added, pointing to the simultaneous military campaign in Gaza, where the Israeli occupation stands accused of systematic war crimes.

Concluding the statement, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry called on the international community to “intervene immediately” to halt these flagrant violations and emphasized the urgent need for collective global action to uphold Palestinian rights and support the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state across all the occupied territories.

Increasing repression of Palestinians

The Israeli occupation intensified its repressive measures against residents of Tulkarm refugee camp on Wednesday, targeting Palestinians attempting to collect their belongings from homes marked for demolition. The escalation is part of the occupation's ongoing assault on the city of Tulkarm and its camp, now in its 157th consecutive day. 

On Tuesday, the Israeli occupation forces issued demolition orders for 104 homes and buildings in Tulkarm camp under the pretext of “military purposes.” Residents were given a 72-hour window, starting Wednesday, to vacate their properties. 

Simultaneously, a suffocating siege remains in place around Nur Shams refugee camp, now in its 144th day, with military patrols and armored vehicles stationed throughout alleyways and camp entrances.

13 Palestinians martyred

The ongoing aggression has so far led to the martyrdom of 13 Palestinians, including a child and two women. It has also resulted in widespread destruction of infrastructure, homes, shops, and civilian vehicles.

Over 5,000 families have been forcibly displaced from the two camps, while more than 600 homes have been entirely demolished. The camps' entrances remain sealed off, turning both areas into nearly lifeless zones under siege.

Israeli forces stormed a kindergarten on Martyrs’ Street in al-Khalil on Wednesday, detaining more than 70 Palestinian children and assaulting the teaching staff. In Beit Lahm, occupation forces raided al-Khader town, focusing their operations in the Umm Rukba area south of the town, where they broke into and searched a local home.
