The Ministry of Foreign Affairs demanded the UN Security Council a firm stance to stop the application of the "land settlement law", by adopting obligatory mechanisms for the application of the UN resolution "2334".

Ministry Foreign Affairs clarified in a press release on Monday that the occupation authorities began to apply the "Adjustment Act", not only on thousands of settlement units built on private Palestinian land, but more than that to begin to apply it in practice on private Palestinian land seized by and planted by Israeli settlers by force.

It condemned this Israel's illegal and illegitimate procedure saying that its application in this way is a "de facto beginning to impose Israeli law on the occupied Palestinian territory, which also encourages settlers and extremist settler associations to persist in control of more Palestinian land under the cover of this Colonial expansionist (law).

The ministry believes that "the enforcement of this law in the absence of a decisive and deterrent international position is what allows the occupation authorities to swallow more Palestinian lands, whether public or private, which entails an urgent international action in the UN Security Council for adoption of obligatory measures to apply UN resolution 2334 more than ever".

In a press release, the ministry said "this expansionist law allows the occupation authorities to confiscate nearly eight thousand acres with immediate effect, according to data published by the (Israeli Peace Now) Movement. It also asserted that the Israeli public prosecutor request from the Supreme Court for grant of a period of time to study the effects of this law on the Palestinian land farmed by settlers near the settlement (Shilo) is a colonial step that escalates beyond its texts.
