By KUNA,
Paris : France on Tuesday reiterated its opposition and disapproval of Israeli settlement policy that includes recently announced expansion of Israeli dwellings in the Occupied West Bank.
Israel announced earlier this month that it will build hundreds of new homes in the West Bank, in defiance of peace accords and the Quartets agreements on this question.
“We think that the extension of settlements is the major obstacle to peace, ” said French Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Pascale Andreani.
Answering a KUNA question, she noted that Frances position on this issue “is constant and unambiguous” and has been clearly expressed by French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner on a recent trip to Israel.
