Or is that merely your opinion and international propaganda? Again.. answer the question.. Why are the settlements illegal? In December 1948, at a conference which took place in Jericho, a group of hand-picked leaders of Palestinian Arabs resolved to ask King Abdullah of Transjordan to incorporate the Arab parts of Palestine into his kingdom. The General Armistice Agreement of 3 April 1949 constituted de facto recognition of that incorporation; however, it was specifically designed as a military agreement which did not prejudice the political positions of the contracting parties. jcpa.org A Palestinian conference in Ramallah personally attended by King Abdullah on 26 December 1948 declared its support for the Jericho Conference resolution, as did a subsequent Nablus conference, calling for unification of the two banks of the Jordan under the Hashemite crown. termination of the Palestine Mandate gave the Arabs of Palestine the opportunity to exercise their right to self-determination. That meant they could determine their own political status and form or dissolve unions among themselves or with other states.en.wikipedia.org If Palestinian LEADERS actually PETITIONED the Hashimites to annex them, why is the UN involved at all? What right did the Arab League have to oppose such an annexation? So.. once again.. why are Israeli settlements, located on UNOCCUPIED LAND, illegal?
