Breaking News: UK deplores Israeli decision to allow new settler homes

Ynet
'British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said on Tuesday he deplored Israel's decision to approve construction of 50 new homes at a West Bank settlement in defiance of a US call for a settlement freeze.

"Settlements are illegal under international law and they are a major blockage to peace in the Middle East on the basis of a two-state solution," Miliband told parliament. (Reuters)
