Palestine is dismayed with International inaction towards the looming forced dispossession of Palestinian families.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, the State of Palestine is dismayed with international inaction towards the looming forced dispossession of 120 Palestinians, mostly children, from their homes and lands in Silwan.

The mass forcible displacement of families of Silwan, Sheikh Jarrah, and other areas, is emblematic of Israel's colonial regime under which, the crimes of apartheid and persecutions are committed. Israel's impunity and criminality are untenable.

It said the international community must honor its obligations towards the Palestinian people and mobilize to put an end to Israel's 54 years of colonization, dispossession, and other systematic violations of international law.

The State of Palestine also calls on all states to hold settler groups and organizations, including "Ateret Cohanim" and "Nahalat Shimon", and their accomplices accountable for their crimes, including their sustained campaign of forcible displacement and incitement against the Palestinian people.

The State of Palestine reaffirms, once again, that Israel, the occupying Power, and its compromised judiciary system, have no sovereignty over Jerusalem.

The imminent forcible displacement of families of Silwan is both a war crime and a crime against humanity.

It is a continuation of Israel's unabated campaign of ethnically cleansing the Palestinian people from their homeland that started in 1947.

It said the United Nations Security Council has an obligation to uphold its Charter duties, implement its resolutions, and exact consequences on Israel for its grave crimes.

The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Mr. Karim Khan, should also issue a stern warning for Israeli officials and affirm that the ongoing investigation will cover these war crimes and crimes against humanity.

It said the Palestinian families in Silwan and elsewhere will remain resilient. They will continue to battle the ills and indignities of Israel's violent, brutal, and racist settler colonial regime, with the full support of their people and legitimate representatives.

Meanwhile, the State of Palestine takes note of the latest annual report by the Secretary-General on Children and Armed Conflict.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Palestine regrets that the report once again failed to rightly include Israel's occupation forces on the list of parties that commit grave violations against children.

It said this failure persists despite the thorough documentation and proof of Israeli crimes against Palestinian children, crimes that are not only ongoing but escalating, including the killing of over 69 Palestinian children in just the past two months.

It said the State of Palestine regrets that the Secretary-General Report disregards the overwhelming body of evidence of Israel's grave violations and crimes against Palestinian children.

Exempting Israel from its crimes is inconsistent with the normative framework of international law and resolutions that are the foundation of and must guide all work by the United Nations, including the object and purpose of the Security Council resolutions to, inter alia, enhance the protection of children.

It said such exemption only emboldens Israel's impunity, permitting it to continue committing these crimes without regard or fear of international censure or consequences.

This willful omission of Israel from the list is also a grave derogation of the responsibilities entrusted to the Secretary General, which we urge him to rectify without delay.

It said Palestinian children are entitled to their human rights, they are entitled to protection, safety, dignity, and freedom.

It said the State of Palestine will continue to expose every Israeli crime committed against Palestinian children and will use all available means within international law to ensure that Israeli officials, military commanders, forces, and colonial settlers are held accountable for their crimes to the fullest extent of the law.

Palestine will never accept such unjust and unjustifiable political exceptionalism to exclude Palestinian children from the international human rights system.
