Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh said that building on lands classified under "C" areas is a right for Palestinians and cannot be compared or treated equal with building settlements.

In response to the Israeli decision to approve the construction of 715 housing units for Palestinians in Area C and 6,000 settlement units, Shtayyeh said in a press statement on Wednesday that "the terms A, B and C no longer exist because Israel has violated the Interim Oslo Agreement, And “we do not need permission from the occupation forces to build our homes on our lands.”

The prime minister pointed out that this silly decision is aimed at deceiving the international public opinion, legitimizing the settlements and trying to promote equal building rights for Palestinians on their own lands with the colonization of the settlements, which steal the land, water and air.

He stressed that the settlements are illegal and illegitimate and will end as ended in many countries, and our right to our land will remain despite all these decisions.
