Much of the international community regards the Israeli settlements as illegal because the territories were captured by Israel in the 1967 war and are hence subject to the Geneva Conventions, which forbids construction on the occupied lands.<\/p>\n\n

The Israeli regime has faced widespread global condemnation over settlement constructions in the occupied Palestinian lands.<\/p>\n\n
