The European Union has expressed its disapproval of the recent actions by the Israeli Security Council to increase control over the West Bank. He stated, "This is another move in the wrong direction, even as the international community is making efforts to carry out the second phase of the Gaza peace plan."
He mentioned that these actions are entirely against the Oslo Accords, which Israel has signed, and might weaken the Hebron Protocol between Israel and the Palestinian National Authority, as well as disturb the current situation, which is especially significant for religious sites.
The European Union has a long-standing position: it does not recognize Israeli sovereignty over the territories occupied since June 1967, in line with UN Security Council resolutions. "Annexation is against international law, and any action aimed at achieving this is seen as a breach of international law," al-Anuni added.
He mentioned that the European Union has been keeping a close watch on the situation in the West Bank for a long time. The effects of Israel's actions in the West Bank reduce the likelihood of achieving a two-state solution to the conflict.
