The Palestinian Presidency affirmed today, Saturday, that all forms of Israeli settlement are illegal and contradict international decisions.
This came in a statement by the official spokesperson for the Presidency, Nabil Abu Rudeina, in response to statements by the American ambassador in Tel Aviv, Mike Huckabee, regarding the approval of establishing 19 new settlements in the West Bank.
Huckabee said in a tweet on the X platform that there is no need for any reaction to this step, noting that it is not annexation or a declaration of sovereignty.
Huckabee pointed out that Israel has granted 35 permits for building settlements since US President Donald Trump took office, confirming that all these permits are located in Area C, which is under Israeli control.
Abu Rudeina responded to Huckabee's statements, stressing that settlement is a blatant violation of international law, calling on the American administration to commit to international laws to achieve fair peace.
All settlement is illegal and violates the decisions of international legitimacy.
