Turkey condemns Israeli settlement activities in the OPT – Turkish FM press release/Non-UN document

Press release regarding the settlement activities of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territories

We strongly condemn the Israeli decision to issue invitations for tender for the construction of additional units of more than 1200 at Pisgat Zeev, Ramot and Ariel, extending its settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The settlement activities of Israel constitute an explicit violation of the international law and these settlements are not acceptable.

We expect Israel to fulfill its obligations in accordance with the international law in a manner that will pave the way for a permanent peace in the Middle East and to put an end immediately to all of its activities destroying any perspective for the two-state peace.
