By NNN-WAFA,
Ramallah : The Palestinian Presidency has said that the Israeli decision to build 820 new settlement units on Jabal Abu Ghneim, Sha’fat and Beit Hanina in occupied Jerusalem is a flagrant violation to the occupied Palestinian land.
In a statement on Sunday, the Presidency Spokesperson said that such decision violates the Forth Geneva Convention, UN resolutions, Oslo accord, Annapolis conference and Israel’s commitments of the first article of the Road Map.
These dangerous Israeli decisions, which undermine the peace process and current negotiations, prove that Israel’s government is not interested in the international legitimacy, he said, adding that the Palestinian leadership denounces these decisions on settlements in al-Quds al-Sharif and the rest of the Palestinian land.
The entire peace process could not achieve progress unless all settlement activities on the Palestinian land are halted, according to the statement Sunday.
The Palestinian leadership calls on the American Administration and the Quartet to adopt a decisive position regarding these Israeli decisions on settlements in Jerusalem which threaten the peace process.
