Israel’s settlement activity 'flagrant violations of international law': Turkey

The Turkish Foreign Ministry has condemned Israel's legalisation of settler outposts and approval of new housing units in settlements in the occupied West Bank, labelling them as "flagrant violations of international law".

"These actions suggest that Israel aims to make the occupation permanent and has no intention of pursuing peace," the ministry said.

"We urge the international community to take a strong and principled stance against Israel's efforts to normalize the occupation," the statement added.
