London called the construction of Zionist settlements in the West Bank “illegal”.

According to Isna, “Hamish Falconer” in charge of Middle East affairs in the British Foreign Ministry wrote on social media X (Twitter): “London condemns the approval of 19 new settlements in Palestine by Israel.” “These settlements are illegal according to international law.”

Anatolia News agency reported in a report that the British official’s statement came after the Israeli Cabinet approved the proposal to build 19 new settlements in the occupied West Bank, and according to “Betsleil Smotrich”, the Minister of Finance of the Zionist regime, the total number of new settlements reached 69 units in the past few years.

Referring to US President Donald Trump’s road map to end the Gaza war, Falconer warned: “This risks undermining the 20-point plan and the prospects for long-term peace and security that only a two-state solution can bring.”

The forces of the Zionist regime and the Zionist settlers have killed at least 1102 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem. Also, 11,000 Palestinians were injured and around 21,000 others have been arrested since October 2023.

Last July, the International Court of Justice declared the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands illegal and demanded the evacuation of all Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
