The Arab League denounced what has been circulating in the Israeli media about an intention to halt the mission of the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH), following previous rejections to increase staff.
This discloses the occupation's implicit intention to continue its crimes against Palestinians and stop the work of observers concerned in monitoring violations and aggressions Palestinians are going through, in addition to the systematic suppression practiced against more than 6,500 inmates in Israeli prisons.
For instance, Palestinian inmates in Ofer prison has been subjected to unannounced raids, smashing of possessions, naked searches, verbal abuse, and the use of tear gas and rubber bullets. All this reflects Israeli insistence on violating the principles of international law and the resolutions on international legitimacy, particularly the Geneva Conventions of 1949.
The Arab League's Assistant Secretary-General for Palestine and the Occupied Arab Territories, Saeed Abu Ali, stated Wednesday that the occupation’s approach to halt the mission of the TIPH challenges the international law and will.
He stressed that Israel's clear quest to Judaize the old city in Hebron and lay hands over more surrounding Palestinian territories aimed to instill the racist policies and violations of the occupation.
