Palestinian Presidency Warns of "Dangerous Israeli Declaration"

The spokesman for the Palestinian presidency, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, warned about the repercussions of the dangerous proposal by Israel's far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to allocate millions of shekels in the 2023 budget for the purposes of deepening colonization in Palestinian territories. Abu Rudeineh stated that "the proposal by the far-right Israeli finance minister to allocate millions of shekels in the 2023 budget to deepen colonization in the Palestinian land comes as part of the comprehensive war being waged by the occupation against our Palestinian people, their land, and their sanctities in Gaza and the West Bank, including Jerusalem." He added that this proposal comes at a time when Israel is holding Palestinian resistance funds and continues its campaign of genocide against our steadfast people in Gaza and the West Bank.
