The approval, coming just before US President Donald Trump’s administration term ends on Wednesday, is designed to avoid conflict with the next US President.

The EU called the move a violation to international law and said Israel is continuing to sabotage the prospect of a two-state solution.

EU spokesperson Peter Stano said the EU once again calls on Israel to halt resettlement activities and dismantle all facilities built after March 2001.
