Israeli settlement activities in occupied Palestinian territories are illegal: Guterres

New York, (ST)- United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has reaffirmed  the UN’s adherence and commitment to the rights of the Palestinian people, pointing out that it is doing its utmost to realize the Palestinians’ inalienable rights.

In a message marking the International Day for Solidarity with the Palestinian People, Guterres said that the Israeli settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories have no legitimacy and constitute a flagrant violation of the international law.

 “Resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains one of the most intractable challenges facing the international community. Regrettably, over the past year, there have been no positive developments, and the situation on the ground continues to deteriorate,” Guterres added.

The UN chief pointed out that the intensification of illegal settlements, the demolition of Palestinian homes and the deteriorating situation of the Palestinians in Gaza must stop, stressing that these actions threaten to undermine the viability of establishing a Palestinian state based on relevant United Nations resolutions.
