JAKARTA - Germany urged the Israeli government to halt settlement construction in the West Bank after Israel's far-right finance minister said it would begin a plan to build thousands of houses that would divide the Palestinian territories.
Germany firmly rejected the Israeli government's announcement regarding the approval of the construction of thousands of new housing units in Israeli settlements in the West Bank, a spokesman for the German Foreign Ministry said.
The plan to build "E1" settlements and expand Maale Adumim will further limit the mobility of Palestinians in the West Bank by dividing them into two and separating them from East Jerusalem.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced on Thursday that long-delayed settlement construction would begin, a move his office said would "fertilize" the idea of a Palestinian state.

Smotrich's spokesman said it approved plans to build 3,401 houses for Israeli settlers among settlements in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
Germany has repeatedly warned the Israeli government to stop settlement construction in the West Bank, which violates international law and UN Security Council resolutions.
The measures complicate the steps towards a negotiated two-state solution and end Israel's occupation of the West Bank, the spokesman said.
