Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is calling for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss Israeli settlement expansion in Jerusalem.
巴勒斯坦总统马哈茂德·阿巴斯呼吁联合国安理会召开紧急会议讨论以色列在耶路撒冷地区定居点扩张问题。
The call has been made following an announcement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for expediting the plans for a thousand new Israeli homes in East Jerusalem.
"There is a public consensus1 that Israel has the full right to build in the Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem and in the settlement blocks. This is the basis of a consensus. All the governments of Israel in the past 50 years have done so."
Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah.
"All the Israeli violations2, all these settlements, everything that the occupation is doing in this area - is illegitimate. It is confirmed by the judgment3 of history that any occupation in the world has an end."
East Jerusalem has been tapped by the Palestinians as the planned capital of a Palestinian state.
As such, any Israeli settlements in the city are viewed as an attempt by Israel to undermine plans for potential Palestinian statehood.
