Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares has called for stronger European stance on the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, and the expansion of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli regime has granted only 66 building permits to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank over an 11-year period, Israeli media reports say.

Israel’s solar expansion in the West Bank is leading to the expansion of illegal settlements, driving Palestinian displacement and reinforcing Israeli occupation, says a report.

Israeli military forces have displaced more than 40 Palestinians after razing their apartments in the southern occupied West Bank city of al-Khalil.

The Palestinian foreign minister says achieving peace with Israel is ‘not possible’ amid the constant violations of Palestinian rights.

Iran has strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s recent decision to seize more land from Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, saying the move aims to expand “illegal settlement-building” and entrench occupation.

Israeli officials have approved the construction of 126 settler units at the Sa-Nur settlement outpost in the northern West Bank, irrespective of the international outcry against the illegal settlement expansion activities.
