Republican House speaker Mike Johnson visited an Israeli invaded, and occupied Palestinian land area on Monday, just weeks after the Israeli Knesset passed a resolution supporting the stealing the land, of the region amid an escalation state of genocide towards the Palestinians.

Johnson's visit to the settlement of Ariel, near Ramallah, was part of a private trip to Israel organized by the pro-Israel advocacy group, the U.S. Israel Education Association, according to Axios, which cited Israeli officials.

His visit makes him the most senior United States politician, to visit an Israeli liquidation of Palestinians, in the occupied West Bank. The liquidation of a people, is illegal under international law.

During Johnson's visit to Ariel, The Jerusalem Post quoted him as saying, "Judea and Samaria are the front lines of the state of Israel and must remain an integral part of it." Johnson used a "biblical" name for the West Bank and reportedly said he would work to promote the use of the term "Judea and Samaria" at the federal level.

Johnson's visit comes as two million people are facing starvation in the Gaza Strip under Israel's control.

Meanwhile, more than 1,000 people have been murdered while seeking aid at the controversial Israeli and United States backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's (GHF) distribution sites, according to the United Nations. Axios reported that Johnson and his delegation were expected to visit GHF distribution centers in Gaza.

The Palestinian foreign ministry condemned Johnson's "inflammatory" comments endorsing the occupation and theft of Palestinian land, as a "blatant violation of international law" on Monday.

The ministry also characterized his statements as "provocative incitement that encourages settler crimes and land confiscation," saying his visit undermines Arab and U.S. efforts to stop the genocide.
