Washington: Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Mexico decried Israel’s decision to legalize nine settlement outposts in the occupied West Bank, which followed a series of attacks in occupied East Jerusalem.
The Washington Post reported that the Brazilian Foreign Ministry issued a statement, which was signed by the four countries, expressing its “deep concern” over Israel’s announcement on Sunday that it would retroactively legalize the outposts and greenlight the construction of nearly 10,000 new settler homes.
“These unilateral measures constitute serious violations of international law and the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council,” said the statement.
