Mauritania Condemns Israeli Knesset’s Approval of Sovereignty Law Over the West Bank
Strong Rejection of Israeli Legislative Move
Mauritania has strongly condemned the recent decision by the Israeli Knesset to approve a law that imposes Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank. The Mauritanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement denouncing the move as a blatant violation of international law and a serious escalation that undermines the rights of the Palestinian people. The statement emphasized Mauritania’s unwavering support for the Palestinian cause and its rejection of any unilateral measures that alter the legal and historical status of the occupied territories.
The Mauritanian government described the Israeli law as a dangerous step that threatens peace and stability in the region. It called on the international community to take immediate and decisive action to halt Israeli policies that aim to annex Palestinian land and to hold Israel accountable for its continued violations of international resolutions. Mauritania reaffirmed its commitment to the Arab Peace Initiative and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Call for International Responsibility and Action
In its official statement, Mauritania urged the United Nations and other international bodies to:
- Condemn the Israeli law as a breach of international law and the Geneva Conventions.
- Pressure Israel to reverse its decision and cease all settlement activities in the West Bank.
- Support the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and statehood.
- Work towards a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict based on international legitimacy.
Mauritania also expressed solidarity with the Palestinian leadership and people in their struggle against occupation and called for unity among Arab and Islamic nations to confront Israeli aggression. The statement highlighted the importance of preserving the legal status of the West Bank as occupied territory and warned against the consequences of legitimizing Israeli control over it.
Conclusion: A Firm Stand for Justice and Peace
Mauritania’s condemnation of the Israeli Knesset’s decision reflects its principled stance in support of Palestinian rights and international law. By rejecting the imposition of Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank, Mauritania joins a growing chorus of nations that view such actions as a threat to regional peace and a violation of the Palestinian people’s legitimate aspirations. The call for international intervention underscores the urgency of addressing the situation before it escalates further, and reaffirms Mauritania’s dedication to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East.
