The ministry announced in a statement that Palestinian women are at the heart of the battle for survival and are facing genocide and forced displacement.

 

According to Al-Alam, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry also emphasized the right of Palestinian women to live in security and peace and to enjoy legal protection against the crimes of the Zionist regime.

 

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry further called for a comprehensive investigation and trial of the occupying regime for its widespread violations against Palestinian women, and called on international institutions to take practical measures to end these crimes.
