Israel's New Settlements In West Bank "Inconsistent" With International Law: Antony Blinken

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken criticized Israel's new plans for housing construction in the West Bank, emphasizing that it goes against international law and hinders peace efforts.
Reinstating U.S. opposition to settlement expansion, Blinken's view contrasts with the Trump administration's 2019 stance, which supported Israel's settlement activities.

Blinken expressed disappointment over these actions, arguing they undermine rather than bolster Israel's security. This reaffirms a long-standing U.S. perspective, aligning with international opposition and legal interpretations that consider civilian transfers to occupied territory as illegal.
