Dozens of countries 'deeply concerned' by Israel's punitive measures against PA
More than 90 countries on Monday expressed “deep concern” at Israel’s punitive measures against the Palestinian Arab people, leadership and civil society following a UN request for an advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice on the legality of Israeli policies in Judea and Samaria and eastern Jerusalem, The Associated Press reports.
A statement released by the Palestinian Authority (PA) said the signatories called for a reversal of the Israeli measures, saying regardless of their position on the General Assembly’s resolution, “we reject punitive measures in response to a request for an advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice.”
The 193-member General Assembly voted 87-26 with 53 abstentions on December 30 in favor of the resolution, which was promoted by the PA.
