Palestinians: World should punish Israel for settlement law
None
JERUSALEM -- A Palestinian Cabinet minister is calling on the international community to punish Israel over a contentious law it has passed that could retroactively legalize thousands of West Bank settlement homes.
Palestinian Tourism and Antiquities Minister Rula Maayaa said on Tuesday that "nobody can legalize the theft of the Palestinian lands."
She says: "I think it is time now for the international community to act concretely to stop the Israelis from these crimes."
