These unilateral measures will destroy what remains of the two-state solution, are in defiance of the United Nations Security Council resolutions, and convey disdain for the efforts of the US administration, Abbas’s office said in a statement.

Earlier on Wednesday, Israel decided to move forward with plans to build some 3,000 homes for Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank. An Israeli defense official said a planning forum of Israel gave preliminary approval for plans to build 1,344 housing units and its final go-ahead for projects to construct 1,800 homes.
