Canada tells Israel to reverse decision on new West Bank settlements

Canada has called on Israel to reconsider its approval of new settlement outposts in the occupied West Bank, arguing that the decision violates international law.

In a statement posted on social media, the Canadian foreign ministry expressed strong opposition to Israel's actions.

"Canada firmly opposes the government of Israel’s decision to approve new settlements in the West Bank. Unilateral actions, such as financially weakening the Palestinian Authority and expanding settlements, are in contravention of international law," the statement reads.
