Saudi Arabia condemns Israeli approval of illegal settlement expansion in West Bank

Saudi Arabia condemned on Saturday Israel’s Security Cabinet decision to expand illegal settlement in the occupied West Bank, warning of “dire consequences,” according to a statement by the Foreign Ministry

In a related context, Secretary-General of the Arab League Ahmed Aboul Gheit also condemned the same Israeli decision in a statement, describing it as a “complete and final reversal of the Oslo Accords, a return to square one, and an entrenchment of the blatant occupation logic.”

Aboul Gheit called on “the international community to see the Israeli government for what it truly is: a racist, right-wing government uninterested in peace, seeking to dismantle any semblance of Palestinian authority, including in Area B, which under the Oslo Accords, is under Palestinian civilian control.”
