The approval by Israel to build 2342 additional housing units in the
illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories is another
obvious example of Israel's policy to change the demographic structure of
the region.
The total number of illegal settlement approvals in 2019 have seen an
increase of almost 50% compared to the data of 2018. This very fact is
solid evidence of Israel’s aim to destroy the vision for a two-state
solution.
We reject this illegal decision of Israel, which continues to violate the
fundamental rights of the Palestinians by mockingly ignoring international
law and reiterate our call on all members of the international community to
fulfill their responsibility to counter the oppression and occupation of
the Palestinian people.
