Dr. Mohammad Shtayyeh warned that the Palestinian issue might face "a hot summer" in light of the illegal plans and measures of the new Israeli government, headed by Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz, to annex the Palestinian side of the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and the settlements.

The Prime Minister also warned of the dangerous repercussions of implementing such plans, which would undermine the region's foundations of peace. Dr. Shtayyeh called on the international community to take immediate practical steps to curb these attempts by recognizing the independent State Of Palestine, on the borders of June 67 with Jerusalem as its capital.

The Prime Minister added: "The Palestinian leadership will hold a meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, to make a decision in the face of this Israeli plan and its expected repercussions.
