The Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned Israel’s announcement regarding the construction of 200 new settlements in east Jerusalem and 2000 units in different settlements in the West Bank.
In a statement issued by the MFA on Friday, Spain expressed its rejection of any unilateral move that would negatively affect peace negotiations which are “currently passing through a critical phase.”
“Spain reiterates that all settlement activities are illegitimate, violate international law and constitute an obstacle to reaching a final peace agreement based on the two-state solution,” the statement added.
