US ‘deeply troubled’ by Israeli plans to approve over 4,000 new homes in West Bank
NEW YORK (AA): The US is “deeply troubled” by the Israeli government’s announcement of plans to approve over 4,000 new settlement units in the West Bank, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said on Sunday.
“The US is deeply troubled by the Israeli government’s announcement of plans to advance over 4,000 new settlement units in the West Bank & the changes to its planning system that may expedite approvals. Settlement expansion is an obstacle to peace,” Miller said on Twitter.
He added that the US opposes such unilateral actions that make a two-state solution more difficult to achieve.
He called on the Israeli government to fulfill the commitments it made in Aqaba, Jordan, and Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, to return to dialogue aimed at de-escalation.
