A UN panel is to investigate the ongoing unlawful actions taken by Israel against Palestinians, despite the resumption of so called "proximity" talks.
The UN special committee investigating Israeli actions in the occupied Palestinian territories said in a recent account that "in addition to the grave situation caused by Israel's unlawful colonial settlement campaign and the continuing illegal blockade of Gaza Strip, Israel has granted itself the power to arbitrarily detain, imprison and deport Palestinian civilians for being 'infiltrators,'" a Press TV correspondent reported.
Israel's broad definition of 'infiltrators' includes Palestinians who are allegedly "residing illegally" in the West Bank.
The panel also highlighted Israel's disregard for international laws, condemning the so-called Israeli military order 1650 -- which allows for deportation of Palestinians from the West Bank without judicial review -- as "illegal and inhumane."
"Thousands of Palestinians, regardless of their Palestinian nationality, citizenship and residence, in particular civilians bearing Gaza Strip identification, Jerusalemites, Palestinians living in areas now trapped between the illegal annexation wall and the 1967 border and others are at risk of being labeled 'infiltrators' and of being forcibly expelled or deported by the Israeli occupying forces," said Mansour Ayyad SH. A. Alotaibi, Kuwait's representative to the UN.
The latest report on Israel's criminal activities came shortly after a Wednesday statement by the Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu said that the regime would continue with the construction of illegal Israeli settlements in an "undivided" al-Quds (Jerusalem).
