Jordan condemns Israeli bill legalizing settlement outpost on Palestinian territory

Jordan condemned an Israeli Knesset’s bill legalizing illegal settlement outposts built across the Israeli-occupied West Bank, state news agency Petra reported.

The Foreign Ministry called the move is a “flagrant and gross” breach of international law and international legitimacy resolutions, the agency said on Thursday.

The Israeli settlement outposts are neither legitimate nor legal, and are built on private Palestinian territory, said spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Daifallah Al-Fayez.
