Local Editor
France said on Saturday that it is "deeply disappointed" with "Israel's" plans to resume building homes for settlers in occupied Al Quds (Jerusalem), and urged the "Israeli" government to reconsider.
"This decision is inopportune. France is deeply disappointed," Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero said in a statement. "France calls on the "Israeli" authorities to reconsider this decision," the spokesman said.
French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and Spanish counterpart Miguel Angel Moratinos had called on "Israel" to stop settlement building during a visit earlier this week, the spokesman said.
"Israel" announced plans to build 238 new homes in occupied Al Quds (Jerusalem) on Friday, provoking anger from the Palestinian Authority and criticism from Washington.
