Catherine Ashton, EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy\/Commission Vice President, issued the following statement today:<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

“I deplore Israeli Government plans to build over 800 additional settlement housing units as well as the plan to relocate some of the settlers from Ulpana within the occupied Palestinian territory. <\/i><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Settlements are illegal under international law and threaten to make a two-state solution impossible. Settlement activity is detrimental to current peace efforts, including by the Quartet, and puts those efforts at risk.<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

I call on the Israeli Government to exercise the highest sense of responsibility by reversing these decisions to demonstrate its commitment toward the peace process, in full respect of international law.<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n
