The Government of Spain reiterates that, like the rest of the international community, it considers Israeli settlements on Palestinian Occupied Territories to be illegal under international law.

The government also argues that these illegal settlements are an obstacle to the viability of a two-State solution, and accordingly, to peace, as set out in the report by the Middle East Quartet issued back in June.

The government urges the Israeli authorities to overturn this decision.
