(MENAFN) Turkey criticized Israel over the approval of constructing approximately 800 new housing units in the unlawful settlements in occupied East Jerusalem early Sunday.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry stated on its website, "Israeli authorities disregarded international law once again by approving the construction of 792 new housing units in the illegal settlements of Ramat Shlomo and Ramot in East Jerusalem."
The ministry added that Turkey is standing against these illegal movements of Israel, which irreversibly destroy the vision of a two-state solution.
This week the Israeli authorities approved building of hundreds of new Jewish-only housing units in occupied East Jerusalem, according to Israeli media reports.
