“I am appalled to learn that in the middle of a war, Israel commits new funds to build more illegal settlements. This has nothing to do with self-defense and will not make Israel safer,” wrote Borrell on his X page.
He also said that making new settlements is “a grave breach” of international humanitarian law and the Zionist regime’s “greatest security liability”.
The Zionist regime launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime’s decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
Tel Aviv has also blocked water, food, and electricity to Gaza, plunging the coastal strip into a humanitarian crisis.
Nearly 15,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in the Zionist strikes.
