The League of Arab States on Tuesday denounced Israel’s policy of ethnic cleansing and house demolitions against the Palestinian people and called on the international community and UN bodies to work on protecting the Palestinians.

The remarks came in a statement hours after the Israeli army killing of three Palestinians on Tuesday, two in the West Bank and the third in the Arab town of Rahat inside Israel.

The Arab League held the Israeli government accountable for such horrendous crimes, dubbing them “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity”.

It further condemned the "state terrorism" practiced by the occupation army and its settlers against the Palestinian people's rights, along with the systematic policy of racial discrimination and ethnic cleansing.

The Arab League warned that the Israeli occupation continues to commit extrajudicial executions and premeditated killings with complete disregard for the blood of the Palestinian people and their most basic human, legal and international rights, as the death toll of Palestinian youth and children has risen to 20 since the beginning of this year.

The Arab League also demanded the urgent implementation of Resolution 2334 and an immediate halt to Israeli violations, including settlement, house demolitions, displacement and arrests.
