Jordan condemns Israeli bill legalizing settlement outpost
Jordan on Thursday condemned an Israeli Knesset's bill, passed in the first reading, legalizing illegal settlement outposts built across the Israeli-occupied West Bank and said the move is a flagrant and gross breach of international law and international legitimacy resolutions, foremost of which is UNSC Resolution No. 2334.
The Israeli settlement outposts are neither legitimate nor legal, and are built on private Palestinian territory, said spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Daifallah al-Fayez.
He stressed that Israel's settlement construction policy in occupied Palestinian territory, which includes the construction of new settlements, expanding existing ones, confiscation of lands and eviction of Palestinians, is a unilateral and illegitimate policy.
Al-Fayez also emphasized that such policy violates international law and undermines peace foundations, efforts to resolve the conflict and achieve just and comprehensive peace and any prospects for the two-state solution based on international legitimacy resolutions.
He called on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities and pressure Israel to stop its settlement construction policy.
