RAMALLAH, June 7, 2012 (WAFA) - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Thursday condemned in a statement Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's approval to build 851 new housing units in illegal West Bank settlements.
“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's approval is a defiance of the will of the international community and a breach of the international resolutions,” said the statement.
It called on the Quartet to promptly intervene to stop the Israeli systematic destruction of the principle of a two-state solution.
It also called on the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and member states of the Human Rights Council to implement the decision of the UN Human Rights Council regarding sending a fact-finding mission to investigate settlements in the Palestinian territory, to take the necessary actions to deter Israel, stop its violation of international law, and to stop its actions as a state above the law.
