EU warns over settlement growth
The authorities confirmed that the Israeli settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank threatens the opportunity to achieve peace. The occupation has allocated significant budgets to support the construction of more than a thousand settlement units on over 100 hectares of Palestinian land, including the transformation of a settlement into an official municipality. This is considered a violation of international resolutions and international law. The European Union warned that these actions demonstrate the occupation’s intention to entrench its colonial presence and undermine efforts to establish a two-state solution. Palestinian civilians have been killed and injured as a result of the Israeli forces' bombing of cities and villages in Gaza and the West Bank. Additionally, Belgium announced a ban on the import of products from settlements, a move coinciding with European calls to halt trade with the settlements.
