"The State of Palestine rejects the annexationist, violent, racist, and incitement to ethnic cleansing policy guidelines of Israel's new government. The State of Palestine considers this agenda an existential threat to the Palestinian people and their inalienable and inviolable rights," the PA “foreign ministry” said in a statement released on Thursday and quoted by Middle East Monitor.
The PA urged the international community to "carry out its responsibilities and reject any dealings with a government committed to carrying out international crimes, including annexation, political persecution and racial discrimination."
