A number of 20 countries, including Islamic, Arab, and European countries, strongly condemned Israel's decisions to expand its illegal control over the West Bank.
In a statement, they emphasized that Israeli settlements are illegal and their expansion is a clear violation of international law.
The signatories to the statement also stated that recent Israeli decisions are aimed at moving toward the practical and unacceptable annexation of the West Bank to other occupied territories.
Israel's illegal actions toward the West Bank undermine efforts to achieve peace in the region, and will have negative consequences for the stability of the entire region, the statement added.
