(MENAFN) US Secretary of State Antony Blinken promised to stand versus Israeli settlements or occupation in the occupied West Bank with previous premier Benjamin Netanyahu set to regain to power.
"We will also continue to unequivocally oppose any acts that undermine the prospects of a two-state solution, including, but not limited to, settlement expansion; moves toward annexation of the West Bank; disruption to the historic status quo at holy sites; demolitions and evictions; and incitement to violence," Blinken stated at the J Street National Meeting event.
Netanyahu is estimated back in office within days, having closed a coalition agreement with far-right groups, involving Religious Zionism, which is prepared for a post in control of Jewish settlements in the ruled West Bank.
"Preserving a horizon of hope also requires that we work relentlessly to prevent any parties from taking actions that could raise tensions or further raise tensions and push the two-state solution even further out of reach," Blinken mentioned.
