The approval by Israel to build nearly 2000 additional housing units in the
illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, is the latest
example of its unlawful and reckless approach.
Israel, which has developed the habit of ignoring the sensitivity of
international community on Palestine, incessantly continues to hijack the
rights of the Palestinian people with its illegal practices. With cheap
internal political considerations, it adds new crimes to the ones already
committed in Palestine every passing day.
It should be ensured that Israel’s policy of expanding the illegal
settlements, which constitute the biggest obstacle to the perspective of a
two-state solution, be halted without delay.
