France condemns terror attack, latest settlement homes

France joins the EU in condemning Israel’s plans to build an additional 1,000 homes in West Bank settlements.

In a statement, the ministry of foreign affairs calls settlement activity “contrary to international law” and “undermines the search for just and lasting peace and jeopardizes the two-state solution, with Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security.”

The statement also condemned Tuesday’s terror attack in the northern West Bank that saw Palestinian gunmen shoot dead an Israeli rabbi.
