TOKYO, February 8, 2017 (WAFA) - The Government of Japan deeply deplored the Israeli Knesset’s adoption of a law that legalizes tens of illegal Israeli settlements and outposts in the West Bank and in East Jerusalem.
In a statement attributable to the Foreign Press Secretary Norio Maruyama, he said “settlement activities are in violation of international law and the Government of Japan has repeatedly called upon the Government of Israel to fully freeze settlement activities.”
Japan strongly urged Israel not to implement the law and desist from unilateral actions that are undermining the viability of a two-state solution.
