Two Palestinians were killed and a third wounded in Kafr Naama village, west of Ramallah, yesterday morning, while the PLO attacked the decision of the US administration to merge its consulate in Jerusalem, which was charged with performing the functions of the embassy to the Palestinian Authority in its embassy in Israel, .
In addition, Israeli occupation forces opened fire on Palestinian civilians claiming that they carried out an operation yesterday morning near Kafr Naama village in the occupied West Bank.
The Israeli occupation army claimed that a Palestinian car, in which three Palestinians were traveling, attacked soldiers at the entrance to the village. The soldiers opened fire on the car, killing two young men and injuring a third.
For its part, accused the Palestine Liberation Organization, yesterday, Israel to escalate the field executions of Palestinians, demanding international accountability for it.
In a statement, Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Executive Committee of the organization, denounced the series of war crimes, brutality and Israeli barbarism in their behavior and practices towards the defenseless Palestinian people.
"The killing and execution of two young Palestinians and the wounding of another yesterday at the entrance to the village of Kafr Naama west of Ramallah, in violation of explicit and deliberate all the norms and international laws and humanity."
"This persistence in field executions, deliberate killing, collective punishment and the continuation of systematic and escalating Israeli terrorism reflects a clear disregard by Israel and its extremist government for the entire world and its institutions and international bodies based on American partnership and support," she said.
She added that the continuation of Israel's practices "confirms the inability of the international community to translate its repeated condemnations into serious and concrete measures to restrain the occupying state."
On the other hand, the PLO attacked the closure of Washington consulate in Jerusalem, and considered the Executive Committee of the Organization in a statement that the closure of the consulate, which opened in 1844, "reflects the extent of arrogance reached by the US administration to hit the resolutions of international legitimacy that contributed to the formulation.
"We deny the historic rights of the Palestinian people, the international conventions and laws against our people, the end of the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital and the right of return of refugees in accordance with UN Resolution 194," she said.
The administration's continued policy "reaffirms that it has chosen to be unqualified to take care of the peace process by itself. The Palestinian people will not accept it. The peace process must be revived through an international conference attended by the permanent members of the Security Council, Politically and regionally. "
This comes at a time when a spokeswoman for the American command in Europe, yesterday, that the US military deployed the system "Thad" missile in Israel.
It said the measure was designed to test the US military's ability to rapidly deploy such weapons around the world.
