The Turkish spokesperson indicated that these decisions represent a clear violation of international law and will harm efforts to achieve a two-state solution.
He added: "We reaffirm that we will continue to support the efforts of the Palestinian people to establish an independent and sovereign state with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the 1967 borders."
On Sunday, the Israeli government approved decisions aimed at bringing about changes in the legal and civil reality in the occupied West Bank in order to strengthen control over it, including expanding the powers of monitoring and enforcement to include areas classified as “A” and “B”.
This measure allows Israel to carry out demolition and confiscation operations against Palestinian property even in areas under the administrative and security control of the Palestinian Authority.
Under the 1995 Oslo II Agreement, Area A is under full Palestinian control, Area B is under Palestinian civil control and Israeli security control, while Area C is under full Israeli control and is estimated to be about 60 percent of the West Bank.
Since launching its war of extermination on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, Israel has intensified its attacks in the occupied West Bank, including killing, arrests, displacement, and settlement expansion, in a course that Palestinians see as paving the way for the formal annexation of the West Bank.
The attacks in the West Bank resulted in the martyrdom of at least 1,112 Palestinians, the injury of about 11,500 others, in addition to the arrest of more than 21,000, according to official data.
The ceasefire agreement ended a war of extermination that Israel began in Gaza on October 7, 2023, and which lasted for two years, leaving more than 72,000 Palestinian martyrs and more than 171,000 wounded, and massive destruction that affected 90% of the civilian infrastructure, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at about $70 billion.
Syrian issue
Regarding the Syrian issue, sources at the Ministry of Defense, in response to journalists' questions following the media briefing, said that Ankara continues to closely monitor the implementation of the agreement signed between the Syrian government and the YPG terrorist organization on January 30.
On January 30, the Syrian government announced that it had reached a "comprehensive agreement" with the YPG terrorist organization, aimed at ending the state of division in the country and establishing a new phase of integration, considering that the agreement related to the cities of Hasakah and Qamishli and the integration of military forces is a complement to a previous agreement signed on the 18th of the same month.
The Syrian government had signed an agreement with the terrorist YPG on January 18, stipulating a ceasefire and the integration of the organization's elements and institutions into state institutions. However, the organization continued to commit violations that the government described as a "dangerous escalation".
The latest agreement came after a militaryoperation launched by the Syrian army, during which it regained large areas in the east and northeast of the country, following repeated violations by the YPG terrorist organization of the March 2025 agreement.
The agreement stipulates respect for the rights of the Kurdish component within the framework of full equality among all components of the Syrian people, and the integration of civil and military institutions in the northeast of the country within the administration of the state.
