EU rejects Washington’s settlement announcement
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe European Union rejects the US announcement that it does not view West Bank settlements as illegal under international law, and says its stance has not changed.
“The European Union’s position on Israeli settlement policy in the occupied Palestinian territory is clear and 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,” an EU spokesperson says in a statement.
“The EU will continue to support a resumption of a meaningful process towards a negotiated two-state solution, the only realistic and viable way to fulfill the legitimate aspirations of both parties.”
— Raphael Ahren
