The Japanese government on Friday deplored deeply the continued settlement activities by Israel despite repeated calls from the international community including Japan for freezing such activities.
A statement by the Foreign Ministry in Tokyo said settlement activities are in violation of international laws and Japan has repeatedly called upon the government of Israel to fully freeze those activities.
"The government of Japan once again strongly urges the government of Israel to fully freeze its settlement activities including implementation of the construction plans that are undermining the viability of a two-state solution," said the statement.
Israel has approved plans for the construction of about 2,300 housing units in settlements in the West Bank on October 2.
