¡°I condemn yesterday¡¯s reported advancement by the Israeli authorities of plans for over 3,400 housing units in settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Israel¡¯s settlement expansion continues to be a driver of conflict in the occupied West Bank, further entrenching the occupation and undermining the right of Palestinians to self-determination and independent statehood.
I reiterate that all settlements are illegal under international law, and I urge Israeli authorities to cease all settlement activity and refrain from provocative actions.¡±
