The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates says Israel is transforming towns and cities across the occupied West Bank into isolated islands scattered among Israeli settlements.
The ministry, in a statement released on Tuesday, stated that Palestinian areas in the West Bank are connected to each other by roads controlled by Israeli forces, who impose sweeping restrictions on the movement of people and goods into and out of those regions.
The statement added that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s expansionist policies and provocative actions besides his push for settlement expansion activities are observable facts in the West Bank and are represented in the construction of structures that are illegal under international law.
