Riyadh : Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Abdul Rahman Al-Attiyah condemned here on Tuesday Israel’s continuous construction of illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Al-Attiyah said in a press statement that the expansion of settlements is a clear violation of international law, calling on the international community and the United States in particular, to shoulder full responsibility to put pressure on Israel to stop its arbitrary policies impeding the peace process in the region.
The Israeli government had announced its intention to build hundreds of new housing units in the settlement of occupied East Jerusalem within a plan to build 40,000 housing units.
