The Israeli escalation in the Palestinian territories shows the aggressive policy of the Israeli government led by Benjamin Netanyahu, Spokesman for Palestinian Government Youssef al Mahmoud said on Thursday.

The Israeli policy, represented in storming of Palestinian cities, towns, villages and refugee camps, aims to break down Palestinian people's resistance, he added.

Also, it comes in response to the Palestinian leadership's diplomatic efforts at the international arena, according to Al Mahmoud. 

The Palestinian government renewed its call for the international community to shoulder its responsibility towards the Israeli aggression on Palestine, urging it to end the Israeli occupation and support the establishment of an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital, he asserted.
