The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said that the armed mass attack launched by terrorist settlers on the village of Jit, east of Qalqilya, last night, which resulted in the martyrdom of a young man and the critical injury of another, in addition to the burning of homes and vehicles, is organized state terrorism. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned, in a statement issued today, Friday, the brutal attack launched by terrorist settler gangs on the village of Jit, and considered it a dangerous escalation in their ongoing crimes against Palestinian citizens in the West Bank, which they commit under the protection of the occupation army, which intervenes to suppress citizens if they rise up to defend themselves. She added that she views the nature of this attack with great concern, especially since it is an organized and armed collective attack in which approximately 100 terrorist settlers participated, with the intention of killing, which led to the martyrdom of the young man Rashid Sedda (23 years old) and the injury of others, in addition to the burning of a number of citizens' homes and vehicles. The ministry wondered: "How could these terrorist gangs mobilize 100 of their members armed with Ben Gvir's weapons and attack a Palestinian village? Had they not felt protected and supported politically, legally and security-wise, knowing that such attacks are not the first, as they remind us of the attack more than once on the town of Hawara, south of Nablus, and its burning, and other crimes." The Ministry called, once again, for a serious international position that would force the occupying state to dismantle the terrorist settlements and militias spread across the occupied West Bank, dry up their sources of funding, lift political and legal protection from them, arrest their criminal elements, and force them to end their colonial settlement system and their racist discriminatory regime in occupied Palestine. She stressed that the mass attack on the village of Jit is evidence that the sanctions imposed by a number of countries on some terrorist elements of the colonists are not sufficient and will not deter them from stopping their crimes, calling for the imposition of deterrent sanctions on the entire colonial system and those who stand behind it and incite this brutal violence and terrorism from the Israeli officials before it is too late. The Ministry also called on the International Criminal Court to quickly assume its responsibilities in this regard, stressing that stopping the war of extermination against our people and providing them with international protection is a precondition for granting them the right to self-determination with freedom and dignity.
