The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly condemned the approval of the so-called Israeli “cabinet” to legalize 5 settlement outposts in the West Bank, and advance plans to build thousands of new settlement units throughout the West Bank.
The ministry said in a statement issued on Friday that it “views with great concern the Israeli government’s continued commission of the crime of settlement expansion and deepening apartheid, with the aim of closing the door to any opportunity for the embodiment of the Palestinian state, and bears full and direct responsibility for its results and dangerous repercussions on the conflict arena and the entire region.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that “the settlement escalation taking place in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is a blatant challenge to the relevant international legitimacy resolutions, especially Resolution 2334, and an official Israeli disregard for the international consensus rejecting settlements as an obstacle
to implementing the two-state solution,” calling for urgent American and international intervention to stop its illegal unilateral measures, impose deterrent international sanctions on the entire racist settlement occupation system, and exert real pressure on the Israeli government to stop settlements and submit to the international will for peace
