Palestinian foreign ministry demands international intervention to protect residents against settler violence The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called for international intervention to protect the residents of al-Mughayyir, a village northeast of Ramallah, following escalating violence by Israeli settlers. In a statement condemning the recent attacks, the ministry highlighted a "suffocating" military and economic blockade that has been imposed on the village for nearly three weeks. Officials described the siege, which includes the random targeting of civilians, as part of a systematic campaign to eradicate the Palestinian presence in the area.
