UNSC Members Slam “Israel’s” Increased Settlement Construction
Several members of the UN Security Council (UNSC) have lashed out at "Israel's" increased settlement construction in the Palestinian territories and escalating Jewish settler attacks on Palestinians.
We are "dismayed by these wholly negative developments" and the threat they pose to the regional peace, said Britain, France, Germany and Portugal in a joint statement after a UNSC meeting on the Middle East conflict on Tuesday.
The four European Union (EU) countries condemned the "devastating" impact of "Israel's" growing settlement building in the occupied territories.
"The viability of the Palestinian state that we want to see and the two-state solution that is essential for Israel's long-term security are threatened by the systematic and deliberate expansion of settlements," the joint statement added.
They also called on Tel Aviv to take strong measures to stop extremist settler attacks on Palestinians and their mosques.
"We condemn the disturbing escalation of violence by settlers, including the burning" of mosques in West al-Quds (Jerusalem) and the West Bank, the statement read on, pointing out that "It is clear that these deliberately provocative attacks on places of worship were designed to aggravate tensions."
Meanwhile, South Africa, Brazil, and India issued their own condemnation of "Israeli" policies towards Palestinians and their lands.
The condemnation was issued a few days after "Israel" unveiled tenders for the construction of 1,028 new illegal settlement units in East al-Quds and the occupied West Bank.
