The official spokesman for the Palestinian Presidency, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, issued a strong warning about the serious consequences of the situation in the region exploding in a way that might become uncontrollable. He explained in a statement issued on Saturday, July 4, 2026, that the escalation of what he described as 'organized terrorism' led by settler gangs systematically and dangerously targets Palestinian villages and towns.
The Palestinian Presidency affirmed that these bloody attacks are not carried out in isolation from the military establishment, but rather take place with direct protection and support from the Israeli occupation army. These attacks in the West Bank coincide with the ongoing policy of daily killing and massacres committed by the occupation against civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Official sources monitored the concentration of settler crimes in the governorates of Jenin, Nablus, Jerusalem, and Hebron, where the attacks included terrorizing safe citizens inside their homes. The assaults also extended to burning large areas of agricultural land and uprooting ancient olive trees, in an attempt to undermine the elements of Palestinian steadfastness.
The violations were not limited to physical assaults but also included the destruction of public and private property and the illegal seizure of vital water sources. Abu Rudeineh stressed that these practices aim to impose a new colonial reality and liquidate the Palestinian national project through the de facto policy pursued by the occupation government.
The Palestinian Presidency linked the escalation in the West Bank to the ongoing genocide and forced displacement war in the Gaza Strip for a thousand days. It considered what is happening to be a comprehensive plan to displace the Palestinian people and commit war crimes that contradict all international conventions, foremost among them Security Council Resolution 2334.
The Palestinian leadership issued an urgent appeal to the international community, specifically mentioning the American administration, to take practical and immediate stances that go beyond verbal condemnation. It demanded the necessity of compelling the occupation authorities to comply with international law and provide urgent international protection for the Palestinian people in all their places of presence.
The spokesman for the Presidency concluded his statement by emphasizing that the region today stands at a very dangerous historical turning point due to the absence of international accountability. He warned that the continued disregard for Arab and international legitimacy would keep the region in a state of permanent turmoil and on the brink of the abyss, directly threatening regional security and peace.
The continuation of these policies and the failure to adhere to international legitimacy places the entire region at a dangerous historical turning point and keeps it on the brink of the abyss.
