United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process,
\nMr. Nickolay Mladenov, on Israel's "Legalization bill"<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Jerusalem, 6 December 2016<\/u><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

"The so-called “Legalization bill” has the objective of protecting illegal settlements and outposts built on private Palestinian property in the West Bank. Some have pronounced it to be a step towards the annexation of the West Bank. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

If adopted, it will have far reaching legal consequences for Israel, across the occupied West Bank and will greatly diminish the prospect of Arab-Israeli peace. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

I encourage Israeli legislators to reconsider this move. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

I reiterate that all settlement activities are illegal under international law and run counter to the Middle East Quartet position that settlements are one of the main obstacles to peace." <\/p><\/div>\n
