TEHRAN (Defapress)- “This policy of ethnic cleansing is considered to be the worst form of racial discrimination, which has become the predominant feature of the practices and decisions of the Israeli government and its various instruments,” said the presidency in a press statement referring to the Israeli decision, WAFA reported.

“The only objective of this abhorrent racist policy is to uproot the legal Palestinian citizens from their land to control it and to replace them with strange settlers,” the statement continued.

The presidency called upon the United Nations and the signatories to the Geneva Conventions and other international institutions to take urgent action to prevent this 'racist’ decision and to provide international protection to the Palestinian people.
