EU calls on Israel to abandon settlement construction in Palestine

This was reported by the EU website with reference to a statement by the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrel.

It is noted that construction in these territories can cause enormous damage to the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

“The EU does not recognize any border changes until 1967, including with respect to Jerusalem, except those agreed by the parties. We urge Israel to reconsider these plans, ”the report said.

Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he did not intend to jeopardize a plan to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict of American leader Donald Trump.

In January, Trump unveiled the “deal of the century,” according to which Jerusalem becomes the indivisible capital of the Jewish state, with the Palestinian capital being created in East Jerusalem.
