On Tuesday, Palestinian authority welcomed the five western European countries' decision and their Joint consolidated political statement of objections related to the illegal building beyond the Green Line and Israel's settlement policy in the occupied lands.

“The Palestinian Presidency expresses its great appreciation for France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and UK' standardized decision regarding Israel's settlements, and the crises of the illegal building beyond the Green Line,” Abbas’s office said in a statement.

It's worth mentioning that the five western European countries urged the government of Israel to reverse on Tuesday its decision to advance the construction of 540 settlement units in the Har Homa E area of the occupied West Bank and to cease its policy of settlement expansion across the Occupied Palestinian Territories, according to international reports.
