UN says Israel ‘advancing effective annexation’ of West Bank
United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov is also panning Israel over its approval of settlement homes.
“The expansion of settlements has no legal effect and constitutes a flagrant violation of international law.

“It must cease immediately and completely,” he adds.
