Amman, 'WAM' — The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned in the strongest terms the Israeli government's approval to establish and legalize 19 settlements in the occupied West Bank. The ministry confirmed in a statement carried by the Jordan News Agency that this certification is a blatant violation of international law, international humanitarian law, undermines the two-state solution, and is a clear violation of the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, to end the occupation, and to establish their independent state. The ministry stressed that Israel has no sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.
