The Palestinian prime minister believes that Israel is paying the price for the crimes of its “extremist government”

July 24 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, Mohamed Shtayé, has attributed the political crisis that Israel is experiencing to the “crimes” of its “extremist government”.

“Israeli society is paying the price for its silence today for the crimes committed by its extremist government against our people,” Shtayé declared during a council of ministers, according to the Palestinian daily ‘Al Quds’.

“The criminal ideas and practices of the occupiers today backfire on them (…). They must realize the danger of these extremists’ ideology and work to combat it. Israeli society must put pressure (on its government) to end the occupation of our land and stop the crimes against our people,” he added.

On the other hand, the secretary general of the Lebanese party-militia Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, has assured that Israel “is on the way to disappearing”. “Before, it was believed that Israel could not be defeated and that its army was invincible and, as such, the countries of the region accepted its existence as an inevitable fact,” he said.

“Today is the worst day in Israel’s history, as some Israelis can attest. Today the country is headed for extinction,” he asserted.

Tens of thousands of Israelis remain mobilized this Monday in protest against the approval of the first Israeli judicial reform law, which limits judicial powers to challenge government decisions, an extreme that the opposition considers a threat to the division of powers and therefore to democracy.
