During a recent visit to the occupied West Bank, House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed strong support for Jewish settlements, asserting that Judea and Samaria rightfully belong to the Jewish people. He characterized these territories as essential to the state of Israel. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry responded harshly, labeling Johnson’s remarks a violation of international law and reiterating the illegitimacy of all settlement activities.
House Speaker Mike Johnson stated, "The mountains of Judea and Samaria are the rightful property of the Jewish people," during a visit to an illegal settler colony.
Johnson declared, "Judea and Samaria are the front line of the state of Israel and must remain an integral part of it," emphasizing a strong pro-settlement stance.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned Johnson's visit as a "blatant violation of international law," highlighting the illegality of all settlement activity.
The ministry added that Johnson's endorsement of Israeli annexation "undermines Arab and American efforts to stop the war and cycle of violence".
