Josep Borrell, European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, said that Israeli settlements fuel tensions, hamper peace efforts and violate the law.
Borrell stressed that Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's announcement to build 3,300 new illegal settlements in the West Bank is a provocative and dangerous announcement.
It is worth noting that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed Washington's disappointment with Israel's announcement that it plans to build 3,000 new settlement units in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem.
