On the 14th, Palestinian Vice President Hussein Sheikh denounced Israel's plan to hand over “civil law enforcement” of Jewish settlements in the West Bank from the Israeli military to the Israeli police, accusing the plan of consolidating Israel's illegal annexation of occupied Palestinian territory. The sheikh issued a statement saying that settlement activity of any kind is illegal. Israel has no sovereignty over any part of the occupied Palestinian territory. The sheikh pointed out that Israel's practices blatantly violate international law and relevant UN resolutions, and are intended to impose Israeli laws and sovereignty on the West Bank region, including East Jerusalem, and further consolidate the illegal annexation of Palestinian territory.
