It reiterated its continued commitment to defending the rights of the Palestinian people, foremost their right to establish an independent state on June 4, 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, in line with international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative.
The ministry called on the international community to take a firm position against such aggressive policies, to work towards protecting the rights of the Palestinian people, and to help achieve a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in the region.
