\ud83d\udca0 Islamic Jihad Condemns U.S. Consular Services in Settlements as Support for Annexation<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udd36 The Islamic Jihad movement has issued a formal statement condemning the U.S. Embassy’s recent decision to provide consular services in the Israeli settlement of Efrat located in occupied territories near Bethlehem and Hebron. This action is characterized by the movement as a blatant endorsement of the ongoing settlement expansion and the Israeli government’s annexation policies.<\/p>\n
In its statement Islamic Jihad asserted that the U.S. Embassy’s decision represents a significant violation of international agreements and norms. The movement emphasized that the claim by Washington that these services are part of a ‘mobile program for American citizens abroad’ does not mitigate the gravity of this action.<\/p>\n
The organization underscored that such claims are merely attempts to normalize the presence in occupied West Bank territories transforming it into a routine affair that serves the objectives of land annexation. They stressed that offering official services in settlements established on occupied land is not just an administrative measure but a clear political and legal acknowledgment of the legitimacy of these settlements effectively participating in the silent annexation of the West Bank by the Israeli government.<\/p>\n
Islamic Jihad highlighted that providing services to settlers on land that is forcibly seized daily signifies an enhancement of the occupiers’ control over the West Bank and the forced displacement of its original inhabitants. The statement further noted that Washington which has previously supported occupation through financial aid and weaponry is now extending diplomatic cover to these actions.<\/p>\n
The movement labeled the U.S. government as a ‘direct partner’ in the annexation projects of the West Bank asserting that the public statements from the U.S. President opposing annexation are nothing more than a media deception aimed at advancing Jewish settlement and annexation projects without provoking sensitivity among Arab governments. Additionally Islamic Jihad pointed out that this action aligns perfectly with the recent comments made by Mike Huckabee the newly proposed U.S. ambassador to Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n
In conclusion Islamic Jihad emphasized that this move reflects a complete coordination between Washington and Tel Aviv to disregard the historical rights of the Palestinian people and to solidify the occupation across all territories.<\/p>\n
