Turkey latest to condemn Israeli settlement plan, says it breaches international law

Turkey condemns Israel’s settlement plan aimed at dividing the West Bank and cutting it off from East Jerusalem, the Turkish Foreign Ministry says, adding the decision is a violation of international law.

“This step… totally disregards international law and United Nations resolutions; targets the State of Palestine’s territorial integrity, the basis for a two-state solution, and hopes for peace,” it says in a statement, reiterating that the establishment of an independent Palestinian state is the only way to achieve lasting peace.
