Manama: France condemned on Tuesday the decisions of the Israeli Security Cabinet regarding attempts to deepen control over the West Bank.
According to Jordan News Agency, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement firmly condemning the Israeli Security Cabinet's decisions aimed at expanding Israeli control over the West Bank, including Areas A and B.
The statement emphasized that these decisions contradict international law and pose a threat to the Oslo Accords and the Hebron Protocol. It warned that the measures, along with the approval of the "E1" project and the related tenders, contribute to moves toward annexing the West Bank. This, the statement noted, constitutes a serious violation of the two-state solution principle and undermines current peace efforts while fueling tensions in the region.
The statement urged Israel to immediately reverse these decisions and affirmed France's continued commitment to achieving a just and lasting peace in line with United Nations resolutions and the New York Declaration.
