ISTANBUL

Former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni has accused the government of fueling violence by occupiers in the West Bank and undermining the foundations of the state.

“A sovereign state has territory, one law for all, and a monopoly on arms,” Livni said in a statement on the US social media company X on Wednesday.

“Israel has no agreed border, there is no longer one law and justice for all, but a system of religious law and justice parallel to the laws of the state, and there are armed and violent militias that riot as they please,” she said.

“The Israeli government is dismantling the State of Israel,” Livni warned.

Israeli occupiers have escalated attacks against Palestinian towns and property across the West Bank since the Gaza war in October 2023. Murders, arson, theft, and other crimes by the occupants, including incidents caught on camera, have gone almost entirely unpunished.

According to Palestinian figures, at least 1,133 Palestinians have been killed and about 11,700 others injured in attacks by the Israeli army and occupants in the occupied territory since Oct. 8, 2023.

Approximately 750,000 Israeli occupiers reside in hundreds of illegal settlements in the West Bank, including 250,000 in East Jerusalem, and they perpetrate daily attacks against Palestinian civilians with the aim of forcibly displacing them.

In a landmark opinion in July 2024, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
