UNITED NATIONS, Feb 1 (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 02nd Feb, 2017 ) : The recent announcement by the Israeli Government to advance 5,000 settlement units in the occupied West Bank could be an "obstacle" to peace, a spokesperson for the United Nations Secretary-General today said.
In a statement, Spokesman Stephane Dujarric, reiterated that unilateral actions threaten to unravel plans for a two-State solution between Israelis and Palestinians. "We once again warn against any unilateral actions that can be an obstacle to a negotiated two-state solution," Dujarric said.
He added that the UN calls on both parties to return to "meaningful negotiations" based on relevant Security Council resolutions and in accordance with international law, and is ready to support that process.
