The Russian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday condemned all Israeli settlement projects in the occupied West Bank, warning of the repercussions of continued settlement expansion and violence against Palestinians.

The ministry said such violations undermine prospects for achieving stability in the region and further diminish the chances of resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

In a statement, the ministry said continued settlement activity constitutes a violation of international law and relevant UN resolutions.

It called for an end to unilateral measures that could further escalate tensions and urged steps to conditions conducive to reviving the political process and reaching a resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
