‘Israel’s Ongoing Settlement Expansion Is Eroding the Prospect of a Two-State Solution,’ UN Middle East Peace Envoy
Reporting that over the past three months, Israel has advanced 22 plans for some 1,200 housing units for one area of the West Bank, a UN envoy on 26 March 2018 warned that such ongoing settlement expansion is eroding the prospect of a two-state solution to the long-standing Middle East conflict.
“[However] no such steps were taken during the reporting period,” he added, noting that Israel’s “illegal settlement expansion and related activities continue further threatening the viability of the two-state solution and eroding the prospects for peace.”
Mladenov also warned that violence and incitement continue to fuel hatred, division, distrust and fear, and continuing terror attacks on Israelis as well as the recent assassination attempt on the Palestinian Prime Minister exemplify the growing risk of destabilization and the empowerment of radicals and extremists.
He further told the 15-member Security Council the reporting period was marked by continuing demonstrations and clashes following to the announcement by the United States, on 6 December 2017, recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, to the growing tensions in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and along the Gaza fence.
“Despite the call in […] resolution 2334 for the parties to refrain from acts of provocation, incitement, and inflammatory rhetoric, such statements continued,” added Mladenov, calling on all political leaders to refrain from provocative statements and actions that fuel an already tense environment.
Concluding his remarks, the senior UN official called on Israelis, Palestinians and the international community to take concrete steps to reverse the current course of the conflict and advance the goal of a just and sustainable peace.
“Generations of Palestinian and Israeli lives have been shaped by this conflict. It is time to begin constructing a different future, a future built on mutual respect, dignity, and the belief that even the deepest and most painful divisions can be resolved if there is a genuine desire for change,” he said.

The Jews have NEVER wanted peace and never ever will. They are the “New Nazis”, but this concentration camp into which the Palestinian people have been herded is a REAL one and the world simply doesn’t want to know . .
