Egypt condemns Israeli decision to construct 22 new settlements in WB
CAIRO, May 30 (MENA) – Egypt strongly condemned on Friday the Israeli occupation authority's approval of the construction of 22 new settlements in the occupied West Bank. It described the move as a new, blatant, and provocative violation of international law and Palestinian rights, noting that the international community, which is aspiring to achieve just-based peace, rejects the step. In a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Egypt reiterated that the decision represents a flagrant breach of the international legitimacy resolutions, topped with the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 in Occupied Palestinian Territory, UN Security Council resolutions including Resolution 2334, in addition to the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice on the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. Egypt reaffirmed that the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967, borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, is a basic right for the Palestinian people and a legitimate, irreversible demand of the international community. It stressed that the Israeli settlements have no legal basis and constitute a blatant violation of international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits an occupying power from transferring parts of its civilian population into the territory it occupies. The statement further underlined that Israeli settlements constitute a major obstacle to achieving the two-state solution and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace (MENA)

PFLP: Deporting four released prisoners to occupied West Bank
Occupied Quds - Saba: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) considered the Israeli enemy's decision to deport four released prisoners to the occupied West Bank a dangerous political shift in the tools used to control Quds and a legal precedent aimed at establishing forced deportation as a permanent means of striking at all those who engage in resistance. This is part of a systematic policy to undermine the Palestinian presence and dismantle its national and social fabric. The PFLP affirmed on Friday that this decision falls within the framework of an Israeli colonial mentality that uses policies of revoking identity cards, demolishing homes, deportation, and the desecration of holy sites as complementary tools to impose Judaization and demographic reengineering of the city in favor of the annexation and uprooting project. The Front stressed that this decision constitutes a clear violation of Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits the forcible transfer of protected persons. It comes amid international silence that encourages the occupation to persist in its colonial policies without accountability. The Front indicated that confronting this course of action requires raising the national and international voice and activating comprehensive resistance in Quds and other areas, as part of a struggle strategy that fortifies the Palestinian presence and prevents its uprooting.

In the West Bank, Egypt condemns the Zionist decision to establish 22 settlements
Cairo – INA Egypt condemned, on Friday, the Zionist occupation's decision to approve the establishment of 22 new settlements in the occupied West Bank. Cairo stressed, according to a statement received and followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "this decision represents a flagrant violation of international legitimacy resolutions, most notably the Fourth Geneva Convention, Security Council resolutions, including Resolution 2334, and the Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice regarding the Zionist occupation of Palestinian territories." The statement added that "the Arab Republic of Egypt affirms that the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people and a legitimate, irreversible international demand. The Zionist settlements have no legal basis and constitute a flagrant violation of international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention, which affirms that an occupying power may not deport or transfer parts of its population to the territories it occupies. The Zionist settlements also constitute a major obstacle to achieving a just, lasting and comprehensive peace."

Palestinian Unions & Federations Alliance condemns zionist restrictions on aid entry into Gaza
Gaza - Saba: The Palestinian Unions and Federations Alliance to Address the Repercussions of the Aggression on Gaza has denounced the ongoing Zionist enemy's restrictions and prevention of food supplies and essential aid from entering the Gaza Strip, amid the worsening humanitarian crisis faced by over two million citizens in the enclave. In a statement issued on Friday, the Alliance emphasized that using food and fuel as tools for political blackmail constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and a breach of the enemy's obligations under the Fourth Geneva Convention, which mandates the provision of basic needs for civilians under occupation. The statement added that the accumulation of aid convoys at crossings, due to the continued blockade and the absence of practical steps to facilitate their entry, has exacerbated famine and deteriorating living conditions in Gaza. It noted that the enemy deliberately allows only a limited number of aid trucks, far below the minimum needs of the population, further deepening the crisis and leading to chaos and violations. The Alliance demanded an immediate halt to the Zionist aggression, the lifting of the siege on Gaza, and an end to all forms of targeting civilians and infrastructure. It called for the immediate and unconditional entry of humanitarian aid, including food, fuel, and medical supplies, without political restrictions or conditions. It also urged enabling Palestinian Authority institutions and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to oversee the entry and fair distribution of aid across all governorates of Gaza. The Alliance rejected any attempts to bypass or marginalize the role of UNRWA, stressing that it is the internationally authorized body responsible for Palestinian refugees' affairs. It also warned against Zionist efforts to eliminate UNRWA's historical role. Additionally, the Alliance demanded an end to the politicization of humanitarian aid, affirming that the right to food, medicine, and basic services is an inalienable human right that should not be subject to negotiation. It called on the international community and the United Nations to intervene urgently and pressure the enemy to open crossings and ensure unimpeded aid flow. The Alliance further called for forming an independent UN-monitored committee to oversee aid entry and prevent obstruction, urging the Security Council to address violations in this regard. It stressed that the human right to food and dignity must remain above all political and military considerations, calling for immediate international action to end the siege and ensure the safe and organized delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza's population.
