The Secretary-General took notice with disappointment and alarm of the decision by Israel to build a new settlement in the occupied Palestinian territory.   
The Secretary-General has consistently stressed that there is no Plan B for Israelis and Palestinians to live together in peace and security.

He condemns  all unilateral actions that, like the present one, threaten peace and undermine the two-state solution.   
Settlement activities are illegal under international law and present an obstacle to peace.

RAMALLAH, PALESTINE (March 30, 2017) -- Commenting on the Israeli security cabinet’s decision to establish a new illegal settlement near the settlement of Shiloh and to grant the approval for the construction of 2,000 units in established settlements, PLO Executive Committee Member Dr. Hanan Ashrawi condemned such moves and said:

1. How are water resources in Palestine and Israel supposed to be shared?

According to the Palestinian position, the sharing of transboundary water resources between Palestine and Israel is to be governed by international law, and its main principles. 

The right to water and sanitation, an individual basic human right, has been implicitly and explicitly enshrined through international conventions such as the International Covenant on Economic and Social Rights (ICESCR), the Convention Against All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).   Indeed all transboundary freshwater resources must be shared “equitably and reasonably” in line with customary international law. 

A U.N. agency published a report on Wednesday accusing Israel of imposing an "apartheid regime" of racial discrimination on the Palestinian people, and said it was the first time a U.N. body had clearly made the charge.
