PA in ‘urgent discussions’ over Israeli settlement announcement
The Palestinian Authority initiated “urgent discussions” on possible responses to Tuesday’s announcement by Israel of plans to build a further 3,000 homes in the West Bank, according to Palestinian news outlet Ma’an.
Palestinian spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh says in a statement that discussions would take place over “necessary procedures” to challenge the decision.
Abu Rudeineh also reportedly demanded that the US administration intervene to halt Israeli settlement policies.
