Canada says very worried by Israel's move to legalize settlements

None

OTTAWA -- Canada is very concerned by Israel's move to legalize thousands of settler homes on Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank, Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Wednesday.

 

"Canada is very concerned ... and we want to underline that this expansion of settlements is illegal under international law," Freeland told reporters on a conference call.

 

Canada is calling on all parties not to make unilateral moves which could have a negative effect, she added.
