British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Tuesday that Israeli plans to apply sovereignty to parts of Judea and Samaria would "amount to a breach of international law."
Asked in the House of Commons about possible sanctions on Israel over the settlements, Johnson said: "I believe that what is proposed by Israel would amount to a breach of international law. We have strongly objected. We believe profoundly in a two-state solution and we will continue to make that case."
