Joint Statement by the Governments of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico
The Governments of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico view with deep concern the decision of the Government of Israel to legalize nine outposts and to build 10,000 housing units in existing settlements in the West Bank.
These unilateral measures constitute serious violations of international law and United Nations Security Council resolutions, especially Resolution 2334 (2016), and contribute to the currently heightened tensions.
Our governments oppose any action that undermines the viability of a two-state solution that allows Israel and Palestine to share secure and internationally recognized borders, while respecting the legitimate aspirations of both peoples to live in peace.
The governments of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico call on Israelis and Palestinians to refrain from acts and provocations that may lead to a further escalation of violence and to resume negotiations to reach a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
