Controversial Sharing: Arab Reaction to Israel's Map

middle east - Israel faced criticism for sharing a map claiming territories from Arab countries as 'historical Israel'.

Israel's official accounts shared a map depicting territories from Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria as part of Israel's 'historical borders', triggering backlash. The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the provocative actions, stating that such moves deny Palestinians' rights to establish an independent and sovereign state with its capital in Jerusalem within the borders of June 4, 1967.

The statement mentioned that the extremist views embraced and disseminated by the Israeli government lead to the perpetuation of violence and conflict cycles, openly violating international norms and laws.

The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs labeled the sharing as a clear violation of international law, emphasizing the need for international bodies to take legal and moral responsibilities to counter Israel's expansionist ambitions in Arab territories. The spokesperson of the Palestinian Authority, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, denounced the publication of maps by occupation authorities' official accounts that include Palestinian and Arab territories as a condemnable and unacceptable act.
