US State Department Press Briefing - January 27, 2023 QUESTION: So what is the status of the Palestinians in the West Bank? What is their status? MR PATEL: I'm sorry? QUESTION: What is the status of the Palestinian people in the West Bank, including Jenin, including the camp of Jenin, and everywhere else in the West Bank? How do you designate them? What kind of designations do you give the Palestinians in the West Bank? MR PATEL: That they reside in that - those territories. QUESTION: They reside in that - they're totally independent of the rest of the world, as if it were a different planet. Are they occupied, for instance? Do you - do you subscribe to the fact that they are under a military occupation? MR PATEL: Said, let me - let me -- QUESTION: It's a simple question. Are they under occupation? MR PATEL: Said, let me say a couple of things to the point that I believe -- QUESTION: Vedant, are they occupied or are they not occupied? What is the status that you give the Palestinians right at this moment? What kind of status do they have? MR PATEL: Said, the recent period has seen a sharp and -- QUESTION: I'm not talking about a recent period. I am saying about legally, how do you designate the Palestinians in the West Bank? What is their status? MR PATEL: Said, I understand the question you're asking, and I - as we've said previously, it is vital for both sides to take action to prevent even greater loss, and we condemn any violence, escalation, or provocation. We have made quite clear - and I spoke to this in addressing Matt's question - that we believe Palestinians and Israelis equally deserve to live safely and securely. QUESTION: Now, who guarantees that equality? Who will guarantee that Palestinians and Israelis can actually have the same equal measures, as you keep repeating? It's not the Palestinians that keep going day after day into Israeli villages and towns and so on and attack them during night raids, killing their people. You just basically recited the Israeli story that they are nine militants killed and one civilian, as if you were sure of that fact, even before an investigation went on. Where should the Palestinians go for protection? I've asked this question many times in this room. How should the Palestinians be protected? MR PATEL: Said, we have been very clear and we believe that there is an urgent need for all parties to de-escalate and to work together to improve the security situation in the West Bank.

The Chagossian people living in exile, should they not return to Diego Garcia, occupied by the UK and a US Air Force Base used for torture, detention and rendition of prisoners taken off the theater of the battle in Bush/Cheney War on Terror -- 2001 into the future.
Expansion of more settlements in historic Russia, from St. Vladimir to the present.
Ukrainian-Russians are just residing on occupied Crimea, abhorrent they are under attack by outside forces and NATO as cover for US National Interest.
Same with Donesk and Luhansk to the Dnipro River, a territory where people of dual citizenship want to live in a secure place and the right to defend themselves. Theu call themselves settlers and religious right to the land.
Territory of Western Sahara gifted by Trump/Kushner/Pompeo to Morocco as a Quid pro Quo to join the Abraham "Economic" Accords and establish diplomatic relations with the Judeo-fascist State Israel ...
Le Maroc offre ses chars à l'Ukraine
First delivery of Morocco T-72B tanks arrive in Ukraine, the first Arab nation ...
In total, Morocco had about 148 units of T-72B and T-72BK in its military reserves. However, not all of them were in active service. The Czech company Excalibur Army has been providing tank technical maintenance services to Morocco, but later the entire batch was "redirected" to Ukraine.
