EU says new settlement homes mark ‘worrying trend’
Israel’s latest announcement of new settlement homes in the West Bank risks making a two-state solution impossible, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says.
The announcement “marks a very worrying trend, posing a direct challenge to the prospects of a viable two-state solution, which is increasingly difficult and risks becoming impossible,” Mogherini warns in a statement.
The European Union “deeply regrets that Israel is proceeding with this, despite the continuous serious international concern and objections, which have been constantly raised at all levels,” she adds.
