Iran’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday strongly condemned Israel’s recent moves to expand settlements and annex parts of the West Bank to the territories occupied in 1948.
Spokesman for the ministry Abbas Mousavi in a statement said the annexation comes as “part of the shameful plan proposed by US President Donald Trump” which is known as the deal of the century.
He said that these illegal measures violate the international law and threaten regional peace and security calling on the United Nations and the other international circles to act and stop the annexation.
Mousavi also deplored Israel’s abuse of the current circumstances in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak adding “Alongside the battle with coronavirus the oppressed people of Palestine are struggling against other viruses such as occupation blockade and sanctions.”
