COPENHAGEN, May 20, 2012 (WAFA) - The Palestinian ambassador to Denmark, Amr al-Hourani, Sunday welcomed, in a press release, the Denmark government’s initiative to label goods that are produced in Israeli settlements in the Palestinian Territory.
Israeli settlers expel Palestinians from their land on daily basis, grow crops on stolen land and sell it to Europe, which is the biggest buyer of Israeli agricultural products, added al-Hourani.
“It is imperative to create realities on the ground. Settlements in the West Bank are illegal as the international community adopted. Therefore, it is also important that words lead to action. Peace in the Middle East can only be achieved by paving the way for a two-state solution, and this is under threat as long as you support the settlements,” said al-Hourani.
