Turkiye condemns new Israeli settlement activities in occupied West Bank

Turkiye has condemned Israel’s approval of the construction of approximately 5,700 new settlement units in the occupied West Bank.

Turkish Foreign Ministry in a statement said the illegal settlements seriously damage the ground for the two-state solution and the perspective of lasting peace.

Turkiye also called on Israel to immediately put an end to the totally unacceptable settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories, which usurp the rights of the Palestinian people in contravention to international law.
