Mexico regrets the Israeli ANNOUNCEMENT OF New Settlements in illegally occupied Palestinian Territories
The government of Mexico, through the Foreign Ministry, regrets the Israeli government’s decision to authorize the construction of 900 new housing units in existing neighborhoods in the illegally occupied Palestinian territories, considering this to be an obstacle to peace, contrary to international law and to compromise the viability of a Palestinian State. It joins in the international condemnation of the practice of evicting Palestinians and demolishing their houses in occupied East Jerusalem.
