Abbas made the comments during a meeting with Belgian Prime Minister
Charles Michel. Israel has stepped up its settlement activities in
recent weeks despite a last December’s United Nations resolution
demanding that Israel halt its construction of settler units. On Monday,
Israeli parliament voted on a law to legalize nearly 400 settler units
built on privately-owned Palestinian land. The move has sparked global
outrage and criticism. All Israeli settlements are illegal under
international law.
