ANKARA: Turkey condemns Israel’s settlement plan aimed at dividing the West Bank and cutting it off from East Jerusalem, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Thursday, adding the decision was a total violation of international law.
“This step... totally disregards international law and United Nations resolutions; targets the State of Palestine’s territorial integrity, the basis for a two-state solution, and hopes for peace,“ it said in a statement, reiterating that the establishment of an independent Palestinian state was the only way to achieve lasting peace. - Reuters
