Merkel Concerned «Israeli» Settlements Undermine «Two-State» Solution

Local Editor

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Friday she was concerned about the "Israeli" entity's building of settlements in the occupied West Bank, which she said was undermining progress towards the so-called "two-state" solution for the "Israeli" entity and the Palestinian territories.

The apartheid entity is building illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank and East al-Quds [Jerusalem] - seized by the entity in a 1967 war and occupied for nearly 50 years - where Palestinians want to establish their state and capital.

"As before, I see no reasonable alternative to the goal of a ‘two-state' solution," Merkel told reporters before holding talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Berlin.

On the issue of the settlements, she added: "I am very concerned about developments in the West Bank, which are leading to an erosion of the basis for a ‘two-state' solution."
