OPN// Egypt condemns attacks of Israeli settlers on WB
CAIRO, June 28 (MENA) - Egypt strongly condemned the repeated attacks carried out by Israeli settlers against innocent Palestinian civilians in several towns and villages across the occupied West Bank, the most recent of which resulted in the killing and injury of a number of Palestinians in the village of Kafr Malik. Egypt affirmed that there is no doubt these systematic assaults against the Palestinian people constitute a blatant violation of international law and the four Geneva Conventions. These attacks also undermine all efforts aimed at achieving security, peace, and stability. In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigration on Saturday, Egypt emphasized the urgent need for the international community to take action to put an end to these blatant violations and to assume its responsibility in confronting the ongoing injustices faced by the Palestinian people under the occupation. Egypt reiterated its firm position that all Israeli settlements in the occupied Arab territories are illegal and represent a major obstacle to reaching a just settlement of the Palestinian cause, added the statement. Egypt reaffirmed its full support for the brotherly Palestinian people in achieving their legitimate aspirations to establish an independent state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

UN: Israel Drives 1200 Palestinians Out of Their Homes in Masafer Yatta
DayofPal– The United Nations Office for the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has raised serious concerns over a sharp rise in the forced displacement of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, particularly in the area of Masafer Yatta. In recent reports, the OHCHR has documented intensified efforts by Israeli authorities to demolish Palestinian homes and seize land, atrocities that could displace more than 1,200 residents from their homes and ancestral lands. According to the reports, Israeli occupation forces are implementing long-standing policies aimed at reducing Palestinian presence in large parts of the West Bank while expanding control over the territory. The situation in Masafer Yatta, a rural area in the South Hebron Hills, is particularly alarming, with demolition orders and eviction plans regularly targeting Palestinian communities who rely heavily on farming and livestock for their livelihood. Human rights experts warn that these actions may constitute forcible population transfer, which is considered a war crime under international law. The UN Human Rights Office has called on the international community to intervene immediately to halt these measures, emphasizing that the forced eviction of civilians under occupation blatantly violates international human rights norms and the Geneva Conventions. Masafer Yatta has long been a flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian struggle, with residents living under constant threat of displacement. Despite legal appeals and international condemnation, demolitions and land confiscations in the area have persisted, leaving entire communities at risk of losing their homes, land, and sources of income. The OHCHR continues to monitor the situation closely and urges greater accountability and protection for Palestinian civilians living under occupation. Meanwhile, Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission warned of settlers' violence surge in the West bank, saying that at least 26 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by settler gunfire since the beginning of the genocide war. Settlers' attacks have surged to 5,000 so far since the start of the war, with the latest incident took place yesterday. According to the Ministry of Health, three Palestinians were killed and at least seven others injured on Tuesday evening during a brutal assault by Israeli settlers and Israeli forces in the village of Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah. Local sources reported that around 15 vehicles carrying armed settlers stormed the village at dusk, setting fire to homes and vehicles belonging to Palestinian residents. Shortlink for this post:
