FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Britain has summoned the Israeli ambassador to London over Tel Aviv’s recent decision to expand illegal settlement building in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Daniel Taub was summoned to talks with Foreign Office Minister Alistair Burt on Thursday.
Foreign Office Permanent Under-Secretary Simon Fraser said that London made clear that the new settlement plans have negative impact on the so-called peace talks between Israelis and the Palestinian Authority.
Fraser added that Britain urged Israel to refrain from such moves and use the “unique opportunity to end the conflict once and for all.”
On January 10, Tel Aviv unveiled plans to build more than 1,800 settler units in East al-Quds (Jerusalem) and the West Bank.
Palestinians are seeking to create an independent state on the territories of the occupied West Bank, East al-Quds, and the besieged Gaza Strip and are demanding that Israel withdraw from the occupied Palestinian territories.
The presence and continued expansion of Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine has created a major obstacle for the efforts to establish peace in the Middle East.
More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 illegal settlements built since Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds in 1967.
The United Nations and most countries regard the Israeli settlements as illegal because the territories were captured by Israel in a war in 1967 and are hence subject to the Geneva Conventions, which forbids construction on occupied lands.
