The Arab League decided on Wednesday to seek a UN Security Council resolution against Israeli settlement construction on Palestinian land.
Arab foreign ministers decided to "bring up the entire situation with the Security Council and to activate the follow-up committee's decision to bring up the issue of Israeli settlements again to the Security Council."
The Arab League wants "to obtain a decision that confirms, among other things, the illegal nature of this activity and that would oblige Israel to stop it," a ministerial committee meeting at League headquarters in Cairo said.
The ministers, in their final statement, also urged the United States, which has traditionally vetoed Security Council resolutions against Israel, not to obstruct its decision.
