Turkey condemns illegal Israeli settlements in Jerusalem

https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/news/middle-east/16886-turkey-condemns-illegal-israeli-settlements-in-jerusalem

Turkey today condemned Israel's approval for the construction of new settlements in East Jerusalem.

"We condemn Israel's activities which affect the region's stability and expect Israel to cease as soon as possible these illegal acts which have no validity under international law," the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a written statement.

Israel continues to destroy the fair, permanent and comprehensive solution in the region with its illegal settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories, the statement said.

"Israel's plan to expand four illegal settlements in the West Bank, its approval for the construction of 64 settlement units in East Jerusalem and the announcement of tenders on 580 houses on seized land in East Jerusalem, all show that Israel disregards international law."



Some people have a problem seeing the illegality of what Israel is doing WRT to Israeli squatters, and for some reason wish to be blind to the facts on the ground.

Very troubling.
