The spokesperson of the American Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a strong statement this evening (Tuesday) criticizing the cancellation of the secession law that passed last night in second and third reading in the Knesset plenum.
The ministry claimed that the legislation constitutes a violation of a commitment given by the Israeli government to the Bush administration 20 years ago, as well as a violation of a commitment that Israel gave to the US earlier this week. They further added and claimed that the repeal of the legislation constitutes a provocation, and called on the Israeli government "not to allow settlers to return to the north of the Bank the western".
