Israeli settler law angers Palestinians, two-state advocates [View all]

Palestinians and proponents of the two-state solution on Tuesday fiercely criticised a new Israeli law allowing the appropriation of private Palestinian land for Jewish settler outposts.

The legislation passed late Monday, which legalises dozens of wildcat outposts and thousands of settler homes, prompted a call by the Palestinians for the international community to punish Israel.

Pro-Palestinian Israeli NGOs said they would ask the Supreme Court to strike down the law.

Opposition leader Isaac Herzog warned the legislation could result in Israeli officials facing the International Criminal Court.

Good to see Herzog standing up strongly against this.
