Arab League (AL) Secretary General Nabil al-Arabi slammed "Israel's" plan to construct new illegal settlement units in the Gilo neighborhood of the occupied East al-Quds (Jerusalem).

Al-Arabi called the decision a "scandalous violation of international law" and said it proves "Israel's" lack of desire for peace, dpa reported on Thursday.

He further criticized the policy of the US in the region, saying it had failed to act as a mediator between "Israel" and Palestine and to bring an end to the settlement constructions.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had on Wednesday dismissed international calls to revoke the decision.

Mark Regev said that Gilo is built on land captured by "Israel" in 1967 and that the site is therefore neither a settlement nor a settlement outpost but a neighborhood which constitutes an integral part of the center of al-Quds.
