The US ambassador to Israeli occupation, David Friedman, impudently called for expansion of Israeli settlement in response to killing an Israeli female settler in Jenin, north of occupied West Bank.

Remarks of this ambassador confirm US complicity with the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people.

In fact, Friedman doesn’t behave as an ambassador of a great country supposedly committed to the international law which denounces settlement and considers it a flagrant violation, but he acts as an extremist settler who incites chaos and instability.

By taking such stances, the US ambassador enhances the law of the jungle that will have bitter outcomes on all.

This position is shameful and rejected. It is also against diplomatic norms. We see it as a direct violation of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
