EU Condemns New ’Israeli’ Settlements in Occupied East al-Quds

Local Editor

The European Union on Friday condemned an "Israeli" plan to build 2,610 new settler units in occupied east al-Quds.

Brussels called on "Israel" to "urgently reverse" actions leading to settlement expansion in occupied east al-Quds.

The EU also accused "Israel" of allowing further settlement expansion in the occupied east al-Quds neighborhood of Silwan.

The 28-country bloc also called on "Israel" to end decades of settlement building in occupied East al-Quds and the occupied West Bank, which is illegal under international law.

The housing units, which have been slated for construction since 2012 in the neighborhood of Givat Hamatos, were given final approval recently last week, according to the "Israeli" "Peace" Now watchdog.
