France rejects new Israeli settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem

France on Saturday called on Israel not to go through on its latest decision to expand settlements following the approval of 3,000 new settler homes in occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank.

"I call on Israeli authorities to refrain from any decision to that effect and to clearly show their willingness to restart (peace) negotiations," said Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius.
