Switzerland today called on Israel to renounce unilateral measures in the occupied Palestinian territories, including legalizing outposts and building new settlements/

“Switzerland is concerned about the Israeli government's announcement on 12 February to build almost 10,000 new housing units in settlements and to retroactively legalize nine outposts in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. These projects are illegal under international law,” said the Swiss Foreign Ministry in a tweet.
