Israel’s foreign ministry has responded to a statement by 24 foreign ministers criticising the approval of a settler construction plan near Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

This week, foreign ministers – including Britain’s David Lammy and his counterparts from France, Italy, Spain, Japan and more – said the E1 plan was “unacceptable and a violation of international law”.<\/p>\n

Israel’s foreign ministry said it “rejects the attempt to impose foreign dictates upon it”.<\/p>\n

It highlighted what it said was the “historic right of Jews to live anywhere in the land of Israel”.<\/p>\n

It added: “Israel acts in accordance with International law.”<\/p>\n

“There is no restriction for Arabs to reside in any part of the State of Israel, and a call to deny Jews – and Jews alone – the right to reside in certain areas of the State of Israel has a name: racism.”<\/p>\n

Bezalel Smotrich, an ultranationalist in the ruling right-wing coalition, had said the government was delivering with the settlement what it had promised for years: “The Palestinian state is being erased from the table, not with slogans but with actions.”<\/p>\n

He said last week that the settlement would “finally bury the idea of a Palestinian state, because there is nothing to recognise and no one to recognise”.<\/p>\n

For context:<\/b> The settlement is set to be built in E1, an open tract of land east of Jerusalem, and includes around 3,500 apartments to expand the existing settlement of Maale Adumim.<\/p>\n

E1 has been eyed for Israeli development for more than two decades, but plans were halted due to pressure from the US during previous administrations.<\/p>\n

Today, an estimated 700,000 Israeli settlers live in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

There is also a growing movement of Israelis wanting to build settlements in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Settlements are illegal under international law and have been condemned by the UN. <\/p>\n

They are, however, authorised by the Israeli government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
