CAIRO, (PIC)– The Arab League strongly denounced the Israeli government for legitimizing its settlements that were built on Palestinian lands in the West Bank, describing such a step as legally invalid.
In a press release, Assistant Secretary-General of the Arab League for Palestine affairs Mohamed Sabih condemned Israel as a “rogue state” using its judiciary to serve its expansionist and aggressive goals.
Sabih noted that the pace of settlement activities rose this year by 19 percent compared with last year.
The official also deplored the Israeli government for giving its settlers the right to own Palestinian land in the West Bank and granting them title deeds to these land lots, describing it as a violation of international law.
“The settlement activities left nothing to negotiate on and torpedoed the two-state solution, so there is no chance left to talk about a meaningful peace process or the return to the negotiation table in light of this situation that needs a firm international position against Israel before it is too late,” the Arab League official said.
