Washington, Rajab 26, 1436, May 15, 2015, SPA -- UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon strongly condemned the ongoing settlement activity of the Israeli authorities in the occupied west bank, including east Al-Quds on three occasions over the last consecutive weeks. In a statement today, Ban Ki Moon reiterated his position that settlements are illegal according to international law and urged the Israeli government to stop settlements, confirming that the world community would not admit unilateral action on the ground and that the status of Al-Quds cannot be solved except through negotiations. --SPA 03:07 LOCAL TIME 00:07 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
