NEW YORK, March 10, 2010 (WAFA)- The UN Secretary-General condemns the approval of plans for the building of 1,600 new housing units in East Jerusalem by the Israeli Ministry of Interior earlier today, said a statement issued by the Spokesperson for Ban Ki-moon.
Ki-moon reiterates that settlements are illegal under international law. Furthermore, he underscores that settlement activity is contrary to Israel's obligations under the Road Map and undermines any movement towards a viable peace process.
