The Palestinian Authority Foreign Ministry has called for an official investigation against Israeli and American officials for repeated violations of international law. A ministry statement took the international community to task for what it called its silence on Israeli and American policies that infringe on the rights of the Palestinian people, saying results in the loss of credibility of the United Nations and its institutions, and in particular in relation to the organization's ability to fulfill its duty to establish security and peace and settle peaceful disputes. The statement condemned Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's desire to annex the Jordan Valley and Defense Minister Naftali Bennett's proposal to develop the Hevron wholesale market area.
