Erekat slams funding boost for settlements
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat slams the Israeli government’s allocation of over NIS 70 million ($18 million) to the settlements.
“Israel is doing everything possible to sabotage every effort to achieve a just and lasting peace,” he says. “This is yet another slap in the face of the international community despite several recent international attempts to cover up the Israeli crimes and violations. It is time for the international community to assume its responsibilities toward this extremist government, which openly supports apartheid and stands against the two-state solution.”
