Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh today described forcing the Ein Samiy community, east of Ramallah, to relocate to escape settler violence as racist and ethnic cleansing. He said in a statement that this is part of a systematic policy of settlement expansion, through which the Israeli occupation authorities seize the land to expand the settlements that are built on lands in the targeted villages and towns throughout the occupied territories that live the terrorism of the occupation soldiers and settlers. Shtayyeh stressed the right of the residents of Ein Samiya community to return to their lands and properties, demanding an end to the displacement plans that affect about 250 communities along the eastern slopes of the West Bank.
