Israel defies EU policy with huge settlement expansion
By EUOBSERVER
Israel on Tuesday announced the creation of 2,500 new settler homes in Palestine, one day after a similar announcement of 600 new units. The settlement expansion comes after the election of pro-Israeli US president Donald Trump and flies in the face of EU policy, restated by foreign ministers last week, to solve the 70-year old conflict via the creation of a Palestinian state side by side with Israel.
