Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Foreign Ministers, during their 156th meeting on Sunday, at the General Secretariat of the GCC in Riyadh, strongly condemned the Israeli Occupation's plan to construct new settlements in occupied Palestinian territories.

The ministers urged the international community to take action and bring the occupation's settlement-building policies to an end. 

Moreover, the GCC statement noted that the council condemned "Israel's continued construction of housing units in the occupied Palestinian territories," reaffirming their refusal "to annex any settlements to Israel or impose Israeli sovereignty over them, in clear violation of international resolutions, including UN Security Council Resolution No. 2334."

To better understand settlements, one incident that took place less than 15 days ago might serve to explain life with them for Palestinians. On May 31st, illegal Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian property in the Palestinian village of Jalud, south of Nablus, which led to confrontations with Palestinians in the area.

Ghassan Daghlas, the Palestinian official in charge of the settlement file in the northern occupied West Bank, confirmed that settlers, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, attacked homes in the eastern region of Jalud, prompting confrontations with the town's residents.

In the same context, state-run Palestinian news agency WAFA cited witnesses as saying that illegal Israeli settlers attacked vehicles and homes in the Khirbet Emreha neighborhood in the town of Yabad with stones and blocked the main road that connects the Jenin and Tulkarm governorates.
