EU Condemns Israel's Expansion of Control in West Bank

The European Union condemns recent decisions by Israel to expand its control in the West Bank, describing them as illegal under international law. The EU recalls that the annexation of West Bank territories violates relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the Oslo Accords. It is noted that these measures undermine the status quo of religious sites and may endanger the Hebron Protocol. The EU reiterates its position of not recognizing Israel's sovereignty over the occupied territories and emphasizes that annexation is illegal.
