Israel is violating UN Security Council resolution 2334 which considers Jewish settlements illegal,  UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East peace process,Nickolay Mladenov said on Monday.

Israel failed to “cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem,”  Mladenov told UNSC in a video conference over implementation of resolution 2334, of 2016, from June 30 to September 20 this year.

Since June 20, Israel’s illegal settlement activities continued at a high rate, a consistent pattern over the course of this year, Mladenov added, saying Israel concentrated Jewish settlements’ construction activities in occupied East Jerusalem, where plans were to build over 2,300 housing units in July 30, including in the Old City.
