JAKARTA - The German government has criticized Israel for the latest approval of the Israeli Cabinet of a number of measures aimed at strengthening control in the occupied West Bank.
"This is contrary to Israel's obligations under international law and is an additional obstacle in the effort to reach a two-state solution," a German Foreign Ministry spokesman told Anadolu, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, February 10.
He emphasized that under international law, Israel is considered an "occupying power" in the West Bank, and the law prohibits an occupying power from transferring its civilian population to occupied territory.
"The transfer of certain administrative activities to Israeli civilian authorities is also contrary to the temporary nature of an occupation," the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson also said the German government's position was clear, namely that the West Bank is an integral part of the future Palestinian state. On this basis, the German government continues to advocate a two-state solution through negotiations.
Meanwhile, on Sunday (8/2), the Israeli Security Cabinet approved measures aimed at changing the legal and civil framework in the occupied West Bank to strengthen Israeli control.
Israel's public broadcaster, KAN, reported that the decision includes the repeal of laws prohibiting the sale of land in the West Bank to private Israeli individuals and the opening of seals on land ownership records.
The Israeli cabinet also approved the transfer of the authority to issue construction permits in a settlement block near Hebron from the Palestinian municipal government to the Israeli civil administration.
