Palestinian national forces in Khuder town strongly condemned offering congratulations to Israeli settlers by a number of local residents on the occasion of Jewish holiday.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine issued a statement on Saturday denouncing the act and considering it a betrayal to the Palestinian people’s sacrifices and resistance against settlement expansion at the expense of their lands.
Khuder municipality also condemned the act denying the participation of any of its crews in the visit to Efrat settlement to offer congratulations.
The PA Preventive Service has earlier summoned four people for investigation over their participation in the visit.
Bethlehem’s deputy governor Mohamed Taha for his part considered the act as a violation to the Palestinian constitution that prevents any sort of normalization with Israeli settlers due to their illegal presence in Palestinian territories.
