The European Union says the expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem is “illegal under international law”, noting this was confirmed by the International Court of Justice in July last year.
The continued expansion of illegal settlements “severely undermines prospects for peace and the two-state solution”, the European External Action Service’s spokesperson said in a statement.
