Foreign Secretary statement on settlement units in the West Bank
Original: www.gov.uk/government/news/foreign-secretary-statement-on-settlement-units-in-the-west-bank
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson condemns Israeli government’s announcement to build over 3,000 settlement units in the West Bank.
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said:
We condemn the announcement of yet further settlement units in the West Bank. Settlements are illegal under international law, and not conducive to peace. This spike in settlement activity makes a two state solution, with an Israel that is safe from terrorism and a Palestinian state that is viable and sovereign, harder to achieve.
