The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned of plans by Israel to annex the occupied West Bank.
The warning on Tuesday came a day after minister of judiciary affairs Ayelet Shaked said she was working on a plan to apply Israeli law to illegal settlements in the occupied territories.
In a statement, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the measure aims to “Judaize the land of the State of Palestine and impose Israeli sovereignty over it.”
Israeli actions “have always aimed to build a proper climate for imposing new facts on the ground” and obtaining Tel Aviv’s “real goal: the annexation of the Palestinian land,” it said.
These are “trials” to test the reaction of the international community towards the Israeli measure, it said.
The Palestinian ministry called on the international community to “deal very seriously” with the issue and take a “clear and explicit position” against Israeli actions.
Over half a million Israelis live in more than 230 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank including East al-Quds (Jerusalem). All Israeli settlements are illegal under international law.
Gaza water crisis deepens
In the Gaza Strip, a report said the plight of the Palestinians continues to deepen amid a crippling Israeli blockage.
The besieged coastline is reportedly facing a pollution crisis, with authorities saying the flow of raw sewage into the sea on a daily basis as a result of power outage have contaminated Gaza’s limited fresh water supplies.
“We can say that 100 percent of the water is not potable,” Ahmed Yaqubi, a water resources consultant at the Palestinian Water Authority, told the Associated Press.
Environmentalists and international aid organizations say that if the problem isn’t quickly addressed, it could spell even more trouble.
Repairing Gaza’s water infrastructure would likely require Israel to ease restrictions on the import of building materials which the regime is refusing.
Poor sewage treatment in Gaza is the result of a rapidly expanding population, an infrastructure damaged during Israeli wars and a chronic shortage of electricity to run the wastwater plants that still function.
In 2007, a sewage reservoir overflowed in a village in northern Gaza, drowning five people.
Israel has waged three wars on Gaza since 2008, including the 2014 offensive, which left more than 2,200 Palestinians dead and over 11,100 others injured.
The only power station in Gaza Strip has been forced to shut down due to fuel shortage. According to the United Nations said, parts of the coastal sliver have been without power for 20 hours a day, compared to 12 hours previously.
Israel and Egypt have maintained a blockade of Gaza since 2007, wreaking havoc in the enclave of 1.8 million people.
Eitemad Abu Khader who lives with her four daughters north of Gaza City where sewage collects in huge ponds said she cannot afford purified water.
Instead, she and her daughters drink tap water and bear the consequences.
“I spend my time from doctor to doctor, hospital to hospital,” she told the AP. “My daughters always have rashes.”

The Palestinian Flag of 1939:
http://www.factualisrael.com/1939-palestinian-flag-look-like-surprised/
Kas, first I thought you were just a disillusioned christian. But I’m pretty sure your a zionist shill. Tell me, why is it you piced that flag of palestines history and not say the Palestinian paramilitary flag of the same period? Like other nations, palestine went through many flags. Before 1938, it went through ottoman and British flags. Israel was only created in 1948, zionist attacks, intrigue and invasions happened way before that. Jews always lived in palestine. Palestinians will tell yo this. It’s the zionist non semitic invasion that created the israel you see today. Not the indigenous jews of palestine who were considered palestinian before 1948. Furthermore, the article asking why the Palestinian flag are those colors is telling in a way also. Palestine flag colors are derived from the baathist party. Many other flags share these colors. And before it was palestines. Why was PALESTINE singled out? Who would love to paint palestine in a negative light religiously? And I like the fact that the before it’s news article points out the HADITH as te source for this so called prophecy. As I have argued many times, the hadith is the corruption of islam. The article says that a messiah who is not jesus will come. But the the quran makes it very clear jesus IS the messiah. Maybe isis, who was created, funded, trained and equipped by jew and christian governments knows of test hadith and are playing dress up to fit the part. Did you ever think of that? Probably not. Zionists love the hadith, it’s just like their talmud. And they will use both to corrupt all the world as God says. Israel is prophesied as coming into existence in the Quran made out of many different kinds of people who call themselves jews, just like today. But it’s also destined to fall because of their corruption. So next time you want facts about palestine or israel for that matter you may actually want to think them out first.
The Vatican wrote BOTH the Koran and the Talmud.
If I were a billionaire I’d be smuggling arms to the Palestinians.
