Amman, March 30 (Petra) -- The Ministry of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs strongly condemned the Israeli Knesset’s approval of a law allowing the execution of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons and said it is a violation of international law and international humanitarian law.

Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Fouad Al-Majali affirmed the Kingdom’s absolute rejection and condemnation of this racist, discriminatory, and illegitimate law, which contradicts international legal norms that prohibit imposing control over occupied territories through legislative frameworks enforced by an occupying power. He said the law is part of a systematic Israeli policy targeting the Palestinian people and their inalienable rights to self-determination and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on Palestinian national soil, in line with the two-state solution.

Al-Majali called on the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities and to act immediately and effectively to prevent Israel from proceeding with the implementation of this law and to compel it to halt its invalid decisions, legislation, and unilateral unlawful practices targeting the Palestinian people and their presence on their land.
