French President Francois Hollande has expressed high concern over Zionist regime’s plan to build thousands more settler units on the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
According to AFP, Hollande said at a joint press conference with Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti in the city of Lyon in east-central France on Monday “I said as the French foreign minister did, that we are highly preoccupied by what was announced” by Israel.”
Holland made the remarks after the country summoned the Zionist regime’s ambassador to Paris to protest Tel Aviv’s decision to construct 3,000 more illegal settler units in East al-Quds and the West Bank, including in the controversial E1 area.
Holland said “The measures announced are in opposition to dialogue and Israel should go back on them.”
E1 is a sensitive zone between East al-Quds and the West Bank, which would fragment territory, Palestinians want for state.
