<\/a>The UN Security Council on Monday heard renewed calls to halt Israeli settlement\u00a0expansion<\/a>\u00a0in the occupied Palestinian territories, as delegates warned that escalating violence and continuous land seizures are rapidly dismantling the prospects for a two-state solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Briefing the UNSC, Deputy UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Ramiz Alakbarov highlighted deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Gaza and surging tensions across the West Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session reviewed the Secretary-General\u2019s latest report on Resolution 2334, which reaffirms that Israeli settlements in territories occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, constitute a \u201cflagrant violation\u201d of international law with \u201cno legal validity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pakistan\u2019s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad told the Security Council that the recent developments reflect a \u201csystemic pattern\u201d rather than isolated incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The occupied West Bank is experiencing \u201cthe largest and deadliest wave\u201d of settlement expansion in recent history, he said while citing the advancement or approval of 4,750 housing units and a cabinet decision approving 34 settlements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He criticised Israel\u2019s new online land registration<\/a> system in Area C, warning it facilitates the dispossession of Palestinian property, while the E-1 settlement project threatens to fragment the West Bank into isolated enclaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning to Gaza, Ambassador Ahmad warned that despite a ceasefire and the Trump-led \u201cBoard of Peace\u201d<\/a>, humanitarian conditions remain catastrophic, with over 90pc population facing widespread hunger, acute water shortages, and disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a joint statement ahead of the UN Security Council meeting on the West Bank, five European members, France, Britain, Greece, Latvia and Denmark, condemned the settlement activity and demanded the Israeli government end its expansion of settlements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, UN chief Antonio Guterres condemned the \u201crelentless\u201d expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, saying in a report seen on Monday, they are contributing to the territory\u2019s worst displacement crisis since 1967.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secretary general, in a quarterly report on the West Bank, said an increase in settler outposts was leading to an upsurge in violence and restricting Palestinians\u2019 access to their land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He specifically warned against Israeli plans to develop in the so-called E1 area of the West Bank, saying it would have severe consequences for the territorial contiguity of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and present an existential threat to the two-state solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
