Kairos Palestine Sounds the Alarm

The power sharing agreement between Netanyahu and Ganz removes the remaining political barriers to annexation of the Jordan Valley and yet to be determined portions of the West Bank.

In response to this development, Kairos Palestine has issued a statement titled "Dire consequences of Israel's Coalition Government," 

"Kairos Palestine," states the document, "raises an alarm regarding...a deal that directly threatens Palestinians’ freedom, health and human rights. Under the cover of a so-called 'coronavirus cabinet,' the State of Israel is empowered to continue its policies of home demolitions, closures, arrests, child detention and settler violence."

The statement lists specific steps for advocacy with their governments:

* Demand that their governments refuse to recognize Israel’s annexations of East Jerusalem and the Syrian Golan and express their rejection of Israel’s further plans of annexation;

* Insist that governments around the world and the Security Council of the United Nations apply measures to pressure Israel to comply with United Nations resolutions regarding Israel's obligations toward Palestinians; 
Protect Palestinians’—and all people’s—right to resist, including Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, until Israel complies with its obligations as an occupying power.
