The United Kingdom has condemned Israel’s announcement to move forward with construction of 1,077 housing units in southern Jerusalem.

In a statement, Minister for Foreign and Commonwealth Office James Cleverly urged Israel to reverse the decision.

He said that settlement construction in these highly sensitive areas undermine the viability of a future Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem.
