In a statement today, Thursday [Jan. 26, 2023], the department said: ‘The occupation’s crimes… would not have been committed if not for the green light that it received in the silence of the international institutions, in addition to the constant support for the occupation by the colonialist states, foremost among them the US and some of the European states.’”
