Palestinian FM condemns Israel's settlement expansion plans

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry on Monday condemned Israel's illegal settlement activities on the occupied lands.

Settlers in the northern Jordan Valley are farming over 5,000 dunams owned by Palestinians, who are being denied access to it by an Israeli military order, the ministry said.

We follow up the issue with countries and the UN organization to put an end to these flagrant Israeli violation of the international law and the Geneva Conventions, the ministry added.

Failing to punish Israel encourages it to continue with the settlement and Judaization policies and to destroy the two-state solution, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry concluded.
