Portugal criticizes Israeli settlement efforts
Portuguese Foreign Minister Paulo Rangel clarified that the expansion of Israeli settlements and the economic pressures on the West Bank and East Jerusalem threaten the prospects of establishing a sustainable Palestinian state. He described the settlement plan in the E1 area as harmful to peace, leading to the division of the West Bank and the isolation of East Jerusalem, thereby undermining the two-state solution. He also criticized Israel's detention of Palestinian tax revenues and the closure of Christian schools in East Jerusalem, considering these measures as weakening the Palestinian economy and causing the city's situation to deteriorate. He reaffirmed that a two-state solution is the only way to achieve peaceful coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians, noting that Portugal recognized the State of Palestine last year as part of increasing international support for establishing a Palestinian state.
