AMMAN, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- Jordan on Monday said Israeli settlements in Palestine are illegal and represent a breach of international law and legitimacy resolutions.
According to a statement by the Foreign Ministry, Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi said Jordan's stance in this regard was firm.
The minister stressed Jordan's condemnation of Israeli settlements as a unilateral measure that kills the two-state solution and undermines the prospects of regional peace.
Safadi asserted that nothing can change the illegitimacy of the settlements, warning against the consequences posed by a shift in U.S. policy on settlements and its impact on peace efforts.
On Monday, the United States said Israeli settlements in the West Bank are "no longer illegal."
