The United States radically changes their policy towards Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which Washington will no longer consider contrary to international law. "We have increased the chances for peace," the Secretary of State said Mike Pompeo announcing the decision that, he explained, was taken on the basis of "facts on the ground" and provides an opportunity for Israelis and Palestinians to "get together and find a solution to this nagging problem".For Pompeo, the previous policy, wanted by the Obama administration, did not make progress on the road to peace. For the US secretary of state, the decision announced yesterday does not affect what the status of the West Bank should be in any eventual peace agreement. For the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Washington's decision "reflects a historical truth", namely that "Jews are not foreign colonialists in Judea and Samaria".
Furthermore, the note goes on, "the Trump Administration's policy is also correct in stating that those who denied any legal basis for the settlements not only deny the truth, history and reality on the ground, but also make the cause retreat of peace, which can only be achieved through direct negotiations between the parties ".The US Embassy in Jerusalem warned Americans traveling to Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, shortly after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that Israeli settlements are not illegal for the United States. "Individuals and groups opposed to the recent announcement by the Secretary of State could hit infrastructure, private interests and US citizens," the embassy explained.

"The EU's position on Israeli settlement policy in the occupied Palestinian territory is clear and remains unchanged: all settlement activities are illegal under international law and erode the feasibility of the two-state solution and the prospects for lasting peace, as reiterated by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 ". Thus the High Representative of the EU, Federica Mogherini, who "calls on Israel to end all settlement activities".
"The Republic will always fight in defense of freedom of information, for its readers and for all those who care about the principles of democracy and civil society"
