Saudi Arabia condemned on Saturday the approval by Israel’s security cabinet to expand settlements in the occupied West Bank.
A statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said “the Kingdom firmly rejects the continuous Israeli violations of international law and resolutions of international legitimacy.”
It also cautioned about “the severe consequences of the practices of the Israeli occupation authorities, given the lack of international accountability.”
The ministry said the Israeli violations undermine the prospects for peace and exacerbate conflicts, destabilizing the region and the world.
