Yeah, how dare Israel build homes for Jews in their own country.

The US on Wednesday condemned the government’s decision to expand settlement construction, saying that it undermines peace efforts.

The statement came following the government’s announcement that 551 new housing units would be built in the West Bank.

“Continued Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank undermines peace efforts and contradicts Israeli commitments and obligations including the 2003 Roadmap,” a State Department spokesman said on Wednesday evening.

“The US position on Israeli settlements is clear,” he said. “We do not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity. We also oppose any effort to legalize settlement outposts.”

Housing and Construction Minister Ariel Atias announced Wednesday evening that his ministry would approve the construction of 551 housing units in the West Bank.
