DAMASCUS, June 4 (RIA Novosti) - A prominent human rights group condemned Monday the Israeli government for what it said was deliberate policies of demolition and dispossession in Palestinian territories.
Amnesty International (AI) blasted Tel Aviv's expansionist settlement policies in the West Bank, and the construction of the barrier separating the PNA from Israel, which AI said has been condemned by the International Criminal Court.
AI also lambasted Israel for the deployment of a network of checkpoints in the occupied territories, which AI said infringed on the Palestinians' right to free movement.
The AI statement printed in Arab newspapers across the region Monday, comes on the eve of the 40th anniversary of the Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank since its victory in the Six Day War on June 5, 1967.
