The Spokesman for the Foreign Ministry stated that Israel’s decision to build 900 housing units in the settlement of Gilo, Jerusalem, is provocative and deserves nothing but condemnation.
Such behavior is deplorable amidst of the international attention and intensified endeavors to overcome the current stalemate on which Israel insists to put itself and everyone, throughout intransigence in refusing to freeze the settlement activity on the territories it occupied since 1967; added the Spokesman.
The Israeli decision proves to be very short-sighted; stressing that such settlement activity is regarded internationally as illegal and unlawful. If the decision aims to change reality in Jerusalem; yet such change remains illegal, unlawful and unrecognizable, calling upon the Israeli Government to manage the consequences of its decisions on the prospects for peace
