Amman, Rajab 4, 1438, April 1, 2017, SPA -- The Jordanian government today denounced Israel's decision to establish a new settlement in the Palestinian west bank, including the annexation of nearly 977 Donm of the Palestinian territories. The spokesman of the Jordanian government Mohammed Al-Mo'meni said in press statement that the decision constitutes a flagrant violation of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people , particularly their right to establish an independent state on their national territory along the 1967 parallel. The Israeli decision also ignores the UN legitimacy , particularly the 2234 decision which was issued in December 2016, Al-Mo'meni added. --SPA 21:56 LOCAL TIME 18:56 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w367137
