AMMAN — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
Expatriates warned Saturday of an Israeli plan to evict Palestinians in Hebron's
Yatta town and the planned construction of 3,988 settler housing units in the
occupied West Bank, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.

Ministry spokesperson Haitham Abu Alfoul said the
settlement expansion is a flagrant breach of international law and resolutions,
foremost of which is the Security Council Resolution No. 2334.
Abu Alfoul stressed that Israel’s settlement policy,
whether in establishing or expanding settlements, seizing lands, or forcibly
displacing Palestinians, is an illegal policy which Jordan rejects and
condemns.
He also described the policy as a unilateral step that
violates international law, undermines the foundation of the peace process,
efforts to resolve the conflict, achieving just and comprehensive solution and
opportunities for the two-state solution based on international legitimacy
resolutions.
Meanwhile, the Arab League on Saturday warned against
Israel's approval of the construction of 4,000 new housing units in illegal
settlements in the occupied West Bank, and the demolition of 12 villages south
of Hebron.
In a press statement the Arab League said that
Israel’s settlement plans are tantamount to war crimes and crimes against
humanity, as they displace thousands of people.
It cautioned that the Israeli schemes, which are part
of escalating attacks on the Palestinian people, will have adverse
repercussions on international security and stability.
