NAM Blasts Israel's Continued Expansion of Settlements
Pyongyang, April 26 (KCNA) -- The Egyptian ambassador to the United Nations, speaking on behalf of NAM at a Security Council open debate on April 21 on the situation of the Middle East, denounced Israel's continued expansion of settlements.

With Israel's refusal to renew the unilateral moratorium on settlement activities and recent announcements regarding the establishment of more settlement units, it "totally contradicts the Israeli government's alleged commitment to the peace process," he said.

NAM "reiterates its call for the Security Council to be resolute in demanding that Israel abides by its legal obligations," he added.
