The European Union has raised the alarm at new settlement construction plans by \u201cIsraeli\u201d apartheid entity in occupied Al-Quds, calling on the regime to halt the expansionist plan \u201cas a matter of urgency.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a statement released on Wednesday, European External Action Service [EEAS] spokesperson Peter Stano warned that the plans would severely undermine future negotiations towards the so-called two-state solution.<\/p>\n

This comes as the Zionist entity seeks to build 540 new settler units in \u2018Har Homa\u2019 and more than 2,000 additional units in \u2018Givat Hamatos\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EU reiterates its position that all settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory are illegal under international law and the EU will not recognize any changes to the pre-1967 borders, including in \u2018Jerusalem\u2019, other than those agreed by both sides. The EU renews its call on the \u2018Israeli\u2019 government to halt settlement construction and to reverse these latest decisions as a matter of urgency,\u201d Stano said.<\/p>\n

He also denounced as \u201calarming\u201d the increase in evictions and demolitions across the occupied Palestinian territory, notably the evolving situation in Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan, in East Al-Quds, and the possible demolition of structures in the Palestinian village of Al-Walajeh.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch unilateral actions are illegal under international humanitarian law and only fuel tensions on the ground. The \u2018Israeli\u2019 authorities should cease these activities and provide adequate permits for legal construction and development of Palestinian communities,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Omar Awadallah, head of the UN Department at the Palestinian Authority\u2019s \u201cforeign affairs ministry\u201d, sent a letter to the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court regarding the “forced eviction of Arab families from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Al-Quds.\u201d<\/p>\n

The letter demands that the court “investigate the war crimes that \u2018Israel\u2019 is committing in the Palestinian territories.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
