Guterres states Israeli settlements lack legitimacy and violate international law
The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, affirmed that all Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, lack legal legitimacy and constitute a blatant violation of international law and relevant UN resolutions. He pointed out that Israel's classification of the Givat Ze'ev settlement as a city does not change its legal status, as it is considered part of the occupied Palestinian territories. He emphasized that Israeli settlements remain a major obstacle to achieving a two-state solution and a just peace, calling on Israel to cease all settlement expansion activities in accordance with Security Council resolutions and the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice.
