RAMALLAH, 22 March, 2021 (TON): A Palestinian official confirmed on Sunday that the Israeli authorities have impounded the VIP border pass of the Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki upon his return to the West Bank from a meeting at the International Criminal Court.

The official at the FM’s office, Ahmed al-Deek, told the media about the move when Maliki visited the ICC lead prosecutor Fatou Bensouda at her office in The Hague on Thursday.

Maliki's ICC visit was the reason for the revocation of his VIP card, an Israeli-granted pass that enables dozens of senior Palestinian officials to move freely through border crossings, said the Israeli officials.

"This is the Foreign Minister of the State of Palestine. He doesn't represent himself. He represents the State of Palestine, and we regard this as an attack against the State of Palestine," said Deek.

However, no response came from the Israeli Foreign Ministry over the move neither did the PM of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to comment.
