Press Release: Declaration by the Presidency on behalf of the European Union on the settlement activities of Israel

The European Union condemns Israel’s planned settlement construction in the vicinity of the Adam settlement in the West Bank. If built, this will constitute a new settlement block. The European Union urgently calls on Israel to reconsider the settlement’s planned construction, which would be in violation of international law; run counter to the Roadmap; and is against commitments made by Israel to the Palestinians and the international community last year in Annapolis.
