UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations on Wednesday expressed its concern over recent announcements by the Israeli Government to advance over 5,000 settlement units in the occupied West Bank.
Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said in a statement that "we once again warn against any unilateral actions that can be an obstacle to a negotiated two-state solution and call on both parties to return to meaningful negotiations on the basis of relevant Security Council resolutions and in accordance with international law, in order to address all final status issues."
"The United Nations stands ready to support this process," he said.
