EU Slams «Israeli» Plans for Thousands of New Settler Units

Local Editor

The European Union blasted on Saturday the "Israeli" apartheid entity for giving the green light to plans for the construction of thousands of more settler units across the occupied West Bank.

""Israel's" continued policy of settlement expansion is illegal under international law," said EU's high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, Federica Mogherini, in a statement on Friday.

Mogherini added that the decision to build more than 3,000 new settlement units in the West Bank could "further complicate the prospects for a viable [so-called] two-state solution" to the "Israeli"-Palestinian conflict.

"The EU calls on both sides to engage in a meaningful process in view of reaching a negotiated two-state solution, and reiterates its readiness to support them, together with its international and regional partners," the statement said.

It further mentioned: "This is the only way to fulfill the legitimate aspirations of both parties and to achieve just and lasting peace."

Last week, an "Israeli" panel served up plans for building a total of 3,178 units located in a number of settlements across the occupied West Bank.
