Qatar condemns Israel’s ‘expansionist plans’ in the West Bank
Qatar has denounced in the “strongest terms” the Knesset’s approval of two draft laws that will push for the annexation of the occupied West Bank and legalise an illegal settlement.
The Foreign Ministry said it considers the approval a “blatant violation of the historical rights of the Palestinian people and a challenge to international law”.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls on the international community, especially the Security Council, to fulfil its legal and moral responsibilities and to take urgent action to compel Israeli occupation authorities to halt their expansionist plans and settlement policies in the occupied Palestinian territories.”

Israeli forces storm Qusra village in occupied West Bank
Israeli troops have demolished stone walls in Qusra village, south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.
Local sources told the Wafa news agency that soldiers raided the village and began demolishing walls on its eastern side. Qusra village has experienced repeated attacks by illegal settlers and incursions by troops over the past two years.
The latest raid comes after Israel’s parliament voted in favour of annexing the Palestinian territory.
More than 700,000 Israelis live in illegal settlements on Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. All of Israel’s settlements in the occupied West Bank are illegal under international law.
