RAMALLAH, February 25, 2018 (WAFA) - The Ministry Of Foreign Affairs And Expatriates condemned the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s intended plan, announced on Sunday during a meeting of Likud ministers, to build more than 800 settlement units in Har Brakha illegal settlement south of Nablus, therefore turning it into a huge settlement outpost.
The ministry also condemned in a statement the Israeli government‘s approval to establish a new settlement for the settlers who will be evacuated from the illegal settlement outpost of Netiv Ha‘avot, south of Bethlehem.
The ministry believes that Benjamin Netanyahu, who is facing a number of corruption investigations, attempts to entice the right-wing public, especially the settlers, by accelerating settlement plans and responding to demands from the public to seize and Judaize more Palestinian land.
It stressed that this settlement attack is derived from the US biased positions towards the [Israeli] occupation authorities and its expansionist colonial policies, which the ministry stressed, obligates the UN Security Council to assume its responsibilities and defend its credibility.
