Canada urges the Israeli government to reverse a decision to approve new settlements in the West Bank, saying the move was in contravention of international law.
“Canada firmly opposes the government of Israel’s decision to approve new settlements in the West Bank. Unilateral actions, such as financially weakening the Palestinian Authority and expanding settlements is in contravention of international law,” the Canadian foreign ministry says in a statement on social media X.
