Jordan on Tuesday strongly condemned the Israeli bill that legalizes settlements built on the Palestinian land in the West Bank, the state-run Petra news agency reported.
On Monday, Israel's parliament passed legislation that aims to legalize nearly 4,000 housing units built on private Palestinian land in the West Bank.
Minister of State for Media Affairs, Mohammad Momani, said in a statement that Israeli confiscation of Palestinian land is a violation of the international legitimacy and resolutions of the United Nations.
The so-called "Regularization Law" passed the Knesset, Israel's parliament, in a 60-52 vote.
Momani stressed that the Israeli government, as an occupying force, is demanded to maintain the status quo in the West Bank and not to allow the establishment of settlement units and grab more Palestinian lands.
Such provocative acts, the minister warned, would destroy any hope for the two-state solution and peace in the region, fuel the anger of Muslims and drag the region to more violence and extremism.
