An-Najah News - Israel’s recent settlement announcement is meant to undermine the two-state solution said the Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ministry. 

The ministry condemned the Israeli decision to announce a tender for the construction of 1257 new settlement units southeast of occupied Jerusalem.
the ministry said in a statement" this a heavy blow to the principle of the two-state solution and the opportunities for implementing it.

The statement noted that these decisions prove that the occupation state has not stopped for a single moment its policy of land annexation for the purpose of settlement expansion.

Adding that the Israeli plan undermines the opportunity to establish a viable, geographically connected, and sovereign Palestinian state.

“It is quite clear that the occupying power is racing against time to exploit the remaining transitional period of US President Donald Trump with such decisions.
All this is the use of this power to implement its expansionist colonial projects, which would undermine the chances of achieving peace on the basis of international peace references,” the statement pointed out.
