UN Reaffirms Need to End West Bank Settlement Expansion
The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, emphasized the need to halt all Israeli settlement expansion activities in the West Bank, including granting the Israeli occupation authorities the designation of "city" to a settler in the occupied West Bank. He stated that such actions are a major obstacle to a two-state solution and the achievement of a just and lasting peace. He clarified that administrative classification does not change international law, which considers settlements to be illegal, noting that all settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, violate UN resolutions and are prohibited by international laws, based on the International Court of Justice's opinion issued in July 2024.
