Britain, Australia and Canada called on the Israeli government to reverse its decision to approve the construction of new settlement units in the West Bank.
On Monday, June 26, the Israeli occupation authorities approved the construction of 5,623 new settlement units in the occupied West Bank.
"The continued expansion of settlements constitutes an obstacle to peace and negatively affects efforts to achieve a negotiated two-state solution. We call on the government of Israel to reverse these decisions," the foreign ministers of Britain, Australia and Canada said in a joint statement published by Reuters.
Last June, the Israeli government also approved granting the racist Israeli minister, Smotrich, the authority to initially approve any plans for settlement construction and to reduce the procedures for deepening and expanding settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory.
