Saudi Foreign Ministry: Israel's decision on the West Bank undermines efforts to achieve peace and stability

The Saudi Foreign Ministry said Israel's decision on the West Bank undermines efforts to achieve peace and stability, in a statement published by Alarabiya on Monday. 

The Ministry said Israel had no right over Palestinian territories and was undermining the two state solution with it's decisions to take control of parts of the west bank. 

Israel’s cabinet on Sunday approved ‌further measures to tighten Israel’s control over the occupied West Bank and make it easier for settlers to buy land, in a move Palestinians called “a ​de-facto annexation.”
