BRUSSELS, February 12, 2026 (WAFA) - The EU stressed that the new steps approved by Israel's security cabinet for the West Bank are counterproductive and incompatible with international law. “They risk undermining ongoing international efforts aimed at stabilization and the advancement of peaceful efforts in the region.”
A Joint Statement by High Representative Kallas and Commissioners Šuica and Lahbib on the Israeli Security Cabinet decision to amend the land registration and property acquisition procedures in the West Bank said, “The EU has a long-standing position of non-recognition of Israel's sovereignty over the territories occupied since June 1967, in line with the relevant UNSC resolutions.”
The EU reiterated its unwavering commitment to lasting and sustainable peace in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council, on the basis of the two-state solution.
The statement also urged all parties to refrain from unilateral measures which increase tensions and further erode the chances of a negotiated solution.
