An-Najah News - Jordan condemned the Israeli occupation plans to build over 1,000 new illegal settlement units east of occupied Jerusalem, said the Jordanian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Daifalla Fayez.

He affirmed Jordan's rejection of all forms of Israeli settlement construction and expansion, adding that the settlements are a violation of international law and undermine the two-state solution chances.

Fayez stressed the need to immediately halt the Israeli illegal settlement policy, calling on Israel to abide by its obligations as the occupying power.
