UN, Feb. 9 (Xinhua) — UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday reiterated that all Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and their associated administrative regime and infrastructure are legally null and void and constitute a grave violation of international law.
According to a statement from A. Guterres' spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, the UN Secretary-General is gravely concerned by the Israeli Security Cabinet's decision to authorize a series of administrative and coercive measures in Areas A and B of the occupied West Bank.
“He /A. Guterres/ warns that the current trajectory of events on the ground, including this decision, undermines the prospects for a two-state solution,” emphasized S. Dujarric.
“Such actions, including Israel’s continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, are not only destabilizing but, as the International Court of Justice has recalled, illegal,” the statement said.
It also states that the Secretary-General calls on Israel to reverse these measures and on all parties involved to maintain the only path to lasting peace through the implementation of a negotiated two-state solution in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions and international law. –0–
