Rome, 20 August (LaPresse) – The Israeli plan for new settlements in the area known as “E1” “consolidates the division of the occupied West Bank into zones and cantons isolated from each other and geographically unconnected, which become like real prisons between which it is impossible to move except through the occupation checkpoints and under the terror of the armed militias of settlers scattered throughout the West Bank”. This was stated in a note by the Palestinian National Authority's Foreign Ministry, which “warns the international community against accepting this Israeli decision and reiterates that mere statements of condemnation and disapproval are useless in this case and offer no protection to the two-state solution”.
