Egypt condemns Israel's decision to build new settlement

TEHRAN, Dec. 06 (MNA) – Egypt issued a statement Tuesday condemning the Israel regime's decision to build a new settlement in East Al-Quds, calling it a "flagrant violation" of international resolutions.

Cairo reiterates its firm rejection of Israel's settlement policies, which attempt to undermine the legal, historical, and demographic status of Palestinian territories, including East Al-Quds, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement, calling on Israel to "halt its illegitimate settlement activities.”

The statement also emphasized the necessity for Israel to cease exploiting the world's focus on the war it is waging in Gaza to intensify its illegitimate practices in the West Bank, including settlement activities.

Israeli authorities are exploiting the war on Gaza to build a new settlement in occupied East Al-Quds, the Israeli activist group Ir Amim said Monday

It marks the first settlement plan to be fully approved by the Israeli regime since 2012, during which the Givat Hamatos settlement was approved, the group added.
