"This is definitely a recipe for yet another disaster that Israel is about to commit. (The) International community is called upon to intervene now and never delay its intervention. Otherwise, a bunch of lunatics sitting in Tel Aviv think that they can reroute the Palestinian people towards other destinations and design the fate of the Palestinians who have long existed on this land. Instead of talking the language of peace, of reconciliation or finding a recipe for coexistence, Israel is devising yet another recipe for further killing, further bloodshed and further confrontation."

STORYLINE:
The Deputy Secretary-General of Fatah’s Central Committee, the party’s executive arm, on Tuesday slammed comments by Israel’s finance minister on a renewed push to annex parts of the occupied West Bank as "a recipe for yet another disaster."
Sabri Saidam also called for the international community to intervene, "otherwise, a bunch of lunatics sitting in Tel Aviv think that they can reroute the Palestinian people towards other destinations and design the fate of the Palestinians who have long existed on this land."
Bezalel Smotrich said in a speech Monday that he will push for Israel to annex parts of the occupied West Bank after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Mideast war and has built scores of settlements to cement its control over the area.
But it has never annexed the territory, which is home to 3 million Palestinians who live under military rule.
The international community overwhelmingly considers the settlements, where some 500,000 Israelis live, to be illegal and obstacles to peace.
During the first Trump administration, the U.S. reversed longstanding U.S. policy and said settlements do not violate international law.
Trump’s secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, made an unprecedented visit to a Jewish settlement.
