Ramallah, Safar 18, 1434, Dec 31, 2012, SPA - Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad condemned on Sunday Israel’s decision to seize 456 dunums of land from the village of Beit Iksa, to build a barrier that will separate the village from nearby illegal Jewish settlements. Fayyad said, during a press conference, that this attempt is considered another violation of all international laws and regulations, therefore, the international community must not turn a blind eye to it. He pointed out that this decision will not only isolate the village of Beit Iksa and turn it into a prison, but will also confiscate the residents’ only source of living, especially that this decision will take away twice the land according to the residents. Fayyad confirmed that this barrier will cut off most of the village’s agricultural land, leaving no chance for future construction and development. "This decision will threaten the Palestinian entity in the area," he was quoted as saying by Palestine News and Information Agency "WAFA." He emphasized that it’s no longer acceptable for the international community to only condemn Israel’s settlements’ policies, but must adopt serious measures to hold Israel accountable for its settlement activities and endangering the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state on the borders of 1967. --SPA 12:52 LOCAL TIME 09:52 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1064340
