UN urges Israel to ‘immediately’ halt settlement expansion


26-06-2021 10:28 AM

Ammon News - The United Nations accused Israel of flagrantly violating international law by expanding settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The global body urged the country’s new government to halt their enlargement immediately.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and UN Mideast envoy Tor Wennesland reported on the implementation of a 2016 Security Council resolution that declared settlements have "no legal validity".

The global body demanded a halt to the settlement expansion, which jeopardises the possibility of a future Palestinian state.
