The US Department of State and the Palestinian Expatriates condemned yesterday the acts of colonization, Judaization and confiscation of land in various parts of the occupied Palestinian territory in the West Bank, which is accelerating with unprecedented American support while the Israeli government has passed a law to stop funding the treatment of wounded and prisoners. Donald Trump, to prevent a halt to US aid to the Palestinian security services under a law approved by Congress three months ago.

In the details, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry pointed out that the Israeli settlements are witnessing a situation that could be called a "construction boom" for more settlement units, accompanied by a large marketing campaign for those units in the Israeli depth, admitted by Israeli Minister of Housing Yoav Galant, who boasted in an interview with The newspaper "Beshifa" calculated on the right settlement in Israel, the increasing number of settlers and the multiplication of settlement units that have been marketed over the past three years, stressing the increase in budgets allocated for planning and development in the settlements. He also revealed that settlement activities were being carried out silently and quietly in order to increase the number of settlement units in the area south-west of Nablus and to connect them with other settlement blocs in the Salfit and Qalqilya governorates to the Israeli depth. , And the situation of the rising settlement boom and the promotion of its settlement units as the future city in the northern West Bank.

The ministry stressed that the deepening of settlements in south-west Nablus is an integral part of an unprecedented settlement campaign in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley, with unlimited US support, which was explicitly expressed by US Vice President Mike Bens when he attacked the site's resolution For reservations, he decided to boycott settlement properties for rent in the occupied West Bank, again exposing the futility of US positions that promote an alleged peace plan to resolve the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis.

The Ministry considered that the silence of the international community on the colonization of the land of the State of Palestine and its failure to implement the relevant resolutions of the international legitimacy constitute a cover for the persistence of the ruling right in Israel and open its appetite to swallow and Judaize more Palestinian land, thus undermining any chance for peace. On the basis of a two-state solution, and finally close the door to any chance for a viable, sovereign and viable Palestinian State.

This came at a time when an Israeli court in Jerusalem decided yesterday to release the governor of Jerusalem, Adnan Ghaith, and nine activists and cadres of the Fatah movement, who were arrested several days ago.

"The Israeli court decided to release Ghaith, who was arrested more than a week ago from his home in the town of Silwan in Jerusalem," the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported. He pointed out that the court also decided to release nine activists and cadres of the Fatah movement on condition that the West Bank not enter the West Bank for two weeks and pay a cash guarantee.

On the other hand, the Israeli cabinet approved yesterday a law to freeze funds transferred by the Israeli government to treat Palestinians arrested after their injuries, as well as prisoners in prisons run by the Israeli Prison Service (IPS).

The bill was approved by Knesset Member Anat Barako, with the support of the Minister of Internal Security, Gilad Arad, during the weekly session of the Israeli government.

The channel «20» Israeli, that at the request of Minister Ardan, has been expanded powers of the law to include also prisoners in the prisons of the occupation.

During the deliberations of the Labor Committee, during which the IPS provided data, it showed that the bill for the treatment of the injured and the prisoners amounts to 40 million shekels annually.

MK Berkau claimed that the law would deter people from joining what they called "terrorist organizations." We do not deal with "terrorists" for free. If they do not have the money, sell their homes or collect donations.

In another context, the newspaper pointed out that the US administration sent a senior officer in the US military, which is responsible for US security coordination with the Palestinian security forces, to inform members of Congress about the effects that may be caused by the cessation of support for the security services of the Palestinian Authority, and its impact on the security of Israel. Although the United States cut off all forms of civilian aid worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the past year, it continued to provide support to the security services. In August, the US administration transferred tens of millions of dollars to Palestinian Authority security services.

The US administration has asked the US security coordinator, Eric Wandt, to brief members of Congress about the dangers and damage that the law will cause to the Palestinian Authority security forces, the AP said on Friday.

The administration is expected to ask for an amendment to the law, which will allow the White House to avoid damaging joint operations with Palestinian security forces. But so far it is not clear how Republican lawmakers will respond to the administration's request. Two sources in Congress told Haaretz that the administration has so far failed to address the matter.

In order to allow the US administration to transfer any budgets in 2019 to the Palestinian security forces, Congress will have to amend the law before going on vacation on December 13.

"We will assess future US aid to the West Bank and Gaza, in accordance with our international vision, focusing on areas where we can ensure the national interests and values ​​of the United States," a State Department spokesman told Haaretz in response. So far, there has been no change in US support for PA security forces. " On the same day, five Palestinians were wounded after a mass rally that took place from Al-Shuhada Square in the center of Nablus towards Hawara checkpoint in support of the city of Jerusalem.
