Palestinians denounce Israel on settlements
None
The Palestinian UN observer is denouncing Israel's legalization of three unsanctioned West Bank settler outposts as an illegal attempt to entrench "its massive network of illegal settlements."
Riyad Mansour called on the UN Security Council on Wednesday "to act immediately to address these continuing illegal, grave actions by Israel." He said in a letter to the council that the intensified construction of Israeli settlement activities in occupied Palestinian territory "is glaring proof" of Israel's "unlawful, expansionist aims."
