Official PLO news agency attacks DM Liberman for vowing to improve conditions of Palestinians

Lieberman’s Vow to Improve Checkpoints Enforces Apartheid System

JERUSALEM, July 18, 2016 (WAFA) – The Ministry of foreign affairs Monday
said Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman’s visit to Hizma checkpoint
and vows to ease travel process is an enforcement of the apartheid system in
the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Liberman Sunday visited Hizma checkpoint into Jerusalem and promised to
“streamline passage at West Bank crossings into Jerusalem, thereby easing
the process for Palestinians who travel daily into the capital,” said The
Times of Israel.

The new Israeli defense minister said he visited the checkpoint to see for
himself the difficulties facing those who use it, but the foreign ministry
said the visit is simply an attempt to reinforce the existence of
checkpoints, which disconnect the West Bank, facilitate Israeli settlers’
movement at the expense of Palestinians and connect illegal settlements with
Israel.

Liberman only visited Hizma checkpoint, but also addressed the situation at
the biggest checkpoint in the West Bank Qalandia, through which tens of
thousands of Palestinians cross daily on foot and by car.

“The problems at the Hizme and Qalandiya checkpoints, which plague residents
of Jerusalem, the Binyamin Council, and Palestinians in the region, have
clear solutions, both administrative and infrastructural,” Lieberman said.

However, the ministry said Lieberman tries to deceive the world by
discussing “facilities for Israeli settlers and Palestinians” and neglects
his repetitive Apartheid statements, which aim to create separate roads for
illegal Israeli settlers and Palestinians on roads in the West Bank.

Since officially being appointed Israel’s minister of defense, Lieberman
enforced several lengthy closures on towns and villages around Hebron and
other Palestinians cities.

Over the years, hundreds of dunums of land that belong to Palestinians have
been permanently confiscated from Palestinian owners to open new roads for
the sole use of Israeli settlers in addition to hundreds of checkpoints,
which obstruct movement.

The ministry condemned the Israeli policy, which aims to expand and take
over Palestinians’ property and called on the international community to
intervene and force Israel to cease its measures, which would eventually
destroy the two-state solution and enforce occupation, settlements and the
Apartheid system in the occupied Palestinian territories.
