Amman, July 22 (Petra) – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
Expatriates on Wednesday welcomed decisions taken by the Netherlands
and Belgium to ban the import and sale processes of products from
illegal Israeli settlements.

In a statement, the ministry spokesperson Fuad Majali said the bans
uphold UN Security Council Resolution 2334 by rejecting Israeli
efforts to reshape the demographics and status of East Jerusalem and
the occupied Palestinian territories.

He noted the decisions also reflect the International Court of
Justice’s advisory opinion, which declares the Isreali occupation and
settlements unlawful.

Majali urged the international community, particularly EU member
states, to adopt similar measures.

To achieve feasible outcomes, he stressed steps to turn legal
commitments into concrete action is “crucial” to halting illegal
settlement expansion and preserving the prospects for a “just,
comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution.”

He reiterated the Kingdom’s “firm” position of working with Arab
countries and international partners to support the Palestinian
people’s right to freedom, end the occupation, restore all their
legitimate rights, and establish their independent and sovereign
state on the June 4, 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.
