The DFLP said that the International Community must act and put pressure on the Israeli occupation to respect international law and stop the violent and ongoing attacks carried out by extremist settlers against Palestinian residents.

The Front also said that the settlers receive a lot of support from the Israeli government, as consecutive Israeli governments have always supported settler activities and financed illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

A spokesperson of the DFLP said that all international resolutions denounce settlements and deem them illegal, while the settlers in Hebron are escalating their assaults to a level that is endangering the lives of Palestinian civilians, and that these activities amount to ethnic cleansing of Arabs in the Occupied Territories.

The spokesperson slammed the Israeli government and its security forces for collaborating with the settlers, and added that different political parties in Israel are using this issue to boost their positions in the upcoming elections.

Furthermore, the spokesperson saluted the residents of Hebron and their steadfastness and called on the Palestinian Authority to expose the crimes conducted by the settlers.

He added that dismantling the Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories is one of the main factors that will lead to establishing real peace and stability in the region.
