RAMALLAH, Dec 22 (NNN-WAFA) – A Palestinian official warned that, the ongoing Israeli settlement activities in the Palestinian territories, would foil the choice of the two-state solution.
Walid Assaf, head of the National Committee to Resist the Wall and Settlements, said, “Israel would thwart the two-state solution and end the peace process by expanding settlements in the West Bank.”
He added that, Israel plans to build a new settlement project, west of the West Bank city of Salfi, “to divide the West Bank into cantons that end the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state.”
Al-Raas area, west of the city of Salfit, witnesses weekly Palestinian protests and confrontations with the Israeli army. The demonstrators say they want to reach their lands that Israel is planning to confiscate in the area.
