The ministry of foreign affairs and expatriates condemned the killing of a Palestinian youth at the hands of an Israeli soldier earlier this evening in the town of Huwwara to the south of Nablus.

The ministry in a statement condemned this heinous crime committed by an Israeli racist soldier against 22-year-old Palestinian youth Ammar Mefleh.

It held the Israeli government directly responsible for this heinous crime which proves once again its predetermined plans to explode the situation and expand the scope of killing and targeting of Palestinians.

The ministry maintained that the fascism practiced by Israeli lawmakers generates a feeling among soldiers that they are protected by the political and judicial levels in the occupation state.

It stressed that this heinous crime must prompt the International Criminal Court (ICC) to uphold its responsibilities, break its silence, and promptly end its investigations to ensure the prosecution of the criminal who committed this crime, and other crimes.
