Barak: “Settlement Activities Likely To Continue by the End of September”

Local Editor

"Israeli" War Minister, Ehud Barak, stated that "Israel's" settlement activities in the occupied West Bank will likely continue after "Israel's" "temporary freeze" on such activities ends by the end of September, according to the IMEMC.

He said that he does not believe "Israel" will stop its settlement activities in the occupied territories, and added that the government will leave an opportunity for a compromise that would enable the acting Palestinian Authority of Mahmoud Abbas to continue so-called peace talks with "Israel".

The "Israeli" government of Benjamin Netanyahu and the Palestinian Authority of Mahmoud Abbas started several days ago direct talks under US mediation and direct involvement.

"Israel" insists that it has "the right" to construct and expand Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and in occupied East Jerusalem. This issue is among the main issues that obstruct the chances to advance peace talks between "Israel" and the Palestinians.

Under the International Law, and the Fourth Geneva Conventions, settlements are illegal and constitute a war crime.
