The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Denounces the Brutal Israeli Aggression on Lebanon

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates vehemently condemns the continuous Israeli aggression against brotherly Lebanon, which endangers the security and safety of its citizens, causing numerous martyrs and wounded.
The Ministry views these actions as blatant violations of international law and humanitarian principles, as well as an attempt to further escalate war to destabilize the region. This is in addition to continuing genocidal policies and destruction against Palestinian people, serving the objectives and plans of Israel's ruling far-right.
The Ministry reaffirms, through the Embassy of the State of Palestine in Lebanon, the implementation of His Excellency President Mahmoud Abbas directives to urgently open all Palestinian hospitals and mobilize medical teams in Lebanon, whether they are affiliated with the Palestine Red Crescent or located in the refugee camps, to receive the wounded and to contribute any possible assistance. Israeli Authorities Block Diplomatic Delegation from Entering Al-Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron

Israeli authorities blocked members of the diplomatic corps accredited to the State of Palestine from entering Al-Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron. The diplomats were on a field tour organized by the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates and the Hebron Governorate to observe the ongoing violations against Hebron's old city and its citizens.

The tour, which included over 30 ambassadors, heads of missions, and international organizations, aimed to showcase the daily attacks by Israeli forces and settler militias on Palestinian residents and businesses. The delegation, led by Ambassador Dr. Ahmad Al-Deek, also received detailed briefings on the temporal and spatial division of Al-Ibrahimi Mosque, a move seen as part of an effort to Judaize the holy site and alter its religious character.

Israeli authorities, however, took deliberate action to prevent the diplomats from entering Al-Ibrahimi Mosque, effectively obstructing their ability to witness the violations firsthand. This blatant restriction is seen as an attempt to conceal the extent of the Judaization efforts, theft, and systematic alteration of the site's historic and religious identity. The move further underscores the ongoing efforts by Israeli forces to obscure the reality of the occupation's impact on Palestinian cultural and religious heritage.
