RAMALLAH (Dispatches) – Palestinians have condemned the Zionist army’s decision to allow Zionist troops to directly open fire at Palestinian protesters in the West Bank even after they run away.
“The decision serves as a green light to commit more field executions against the Palestinians, according to the whims, moods, and assessments of the Israeli soldier,” the Palestinian Foreign Ministry said in a press statement.
Israel Radio reported that the Zionist army began to change the policy of opening fire in the West Bank in a way that allows shooting at anyone who protests and after they escape.
The radio added that the new instructions have come into effect in recent weeks through a document to all troops.
The report also said that firing at protesters “should be carried out in the clashes area, that is, immediately after the incident.”
The Palestinian statement said “the ministry is seriously considering the new decision, which represents a flagrant disregard for international humanitarian law and human rights principles.”

Zionist Authorities Most-Read HRW Report

Meanwhile, the Human Rights Watch (HRW)’s report about “Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and Persecution” topped the list of its most-read reports issued in 2021.
According to the NGO, the report was not a current event. Unlike other reports, it was written as an overview on the greater Zionist-Palestine conflict.
The report outlined the Zionist regime’s persecution and discrimination against millions of Palestinian nationals in the illegally occupied West Bank and Gaza.
HRW’s report on the regime’s persecution of Palestinians ranked higher than reports on topics including sexual violence against women in India, extrajudicial killings in the Philippines, digital sex crimes in South Korea and others.
“Laws, policies and statements by leading Israeli officials make plain that the objective of maintaining Israeli control over demographics, political power, and land has long guided regime policy,” the report said.
“In pursuit of this goal, authorities have dispossessed, confined, forcibly separated and subjugated Palestinians by virtue of their identity to varying degrees of intensity. These deprivations are so severe that they amount to the crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution.”
