Saudi Arabia on Saturday condemned a decision by the Israeli authorities to publish bids to build settlement units inside the occupied Palestinian lands. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in this regard that it expresses the Kingdom's condemnation of the decision by the Israeli occupation authorities to float bids to build settlement units inside the occupied Palestinian territories. "The Ministry expressed the Kingdom's denunciation and condemnation of this decision, which represents a continuation of the flagrant violations committed by the occupation authorities," it said in a statement. It also called upon the international community to assume its responsibilities to end the Israeli occupation and stop its provocative practices, "which would obstruct the paths of political solutions based on the Arab Peace Initiative, and undermine international peace efforts."
