No: 31, 28 January 2016
We strongly condemn Israel’s approval to build a total of 153 new housing units in different illegal settlements in the West Bank and in East Jerusalem occupied since 1967.
Israel’s steps to this direction, in violation of the international law, harm the basis for lasting peace and efforts towards this end, and cannot be accepted under any circumstances.
