EU Foreign Policy Chief condemns israel's plan to build new colonial units in West Bank

The move, described by Borrell as "inflammatory and dangerous," has sparked widespread concern and criticism from the international community.

Taking to his official Twitter account, Borrell expressed his disapproval of the announcement made by israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. He emphasized that the expansion of settlements in the West Bank not only undermines efforts for peace but also poses a significant threat to the safety and security of both Israelis and Palestinians.

Borrell further highlighted the detrimental impact of settlements on regional tensions, emphasizing their role in obstructing peace initiatives. He underscored that such actions constitute a clear violation of international law, exacerbating an already complex situation in the region.

The EU's condemnation adds to growing international criticism of Israel's settlement policies and underscores the urgent need for a halt to the ongoing Israel’s genocide in Gaza. (ILKHA)
