AMMAN, March 25 (Xinhua) -- Jordan's Foreign Ministry on Saturday condemned Israel's announcement to offer tenders for building over a thousand new settlement units in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The ministry's spokesperson Sinan Al-Majali said in a statement that constructing these units constitutes a clear violation of international law, notably Security Council Resolution 2334.

He emphasized that Israel's settlement policy undermines the foundations of peace and efforts to achieve a two-state solution based on international legitimacy.

The spokesperson said that Israel's unilateral practices, which include building and expanding settlements, land confiscation, and displacing Palestinians, are illegal and illegitimate, and should be rejected and condemned.
