EU lashes Israel over settlement building, West Bank road
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe European Union on Monday condemns Israel after construction plans for 2,342 settlement homes were green-lighted last month.
The bloc says its position on Israel building in the West Bank remains unchanged: “All settlement activity is illegal under international law and it erodes the viability of the two-state solution and the prospects for a lasting peace.”
The EU also criticizes the decision to approve the construction of a road that will connect settlements but bypass Bethlehem, saying it is “entrenching the fragmentation of the West Bank.”
