The UN Security Council on Friday voted for a resolution which condemns as a "flagrant violation" Israel's settlement construction on occupied Palestinian land.
Fourteen of a total 15 Security Council member states voted in favor of the measure as the US abstained, thus allowing the resolution to pass.
According to the resolution, there is "no legal validity" for Israeli settlements built on post-1967 occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem.
It also demands that Israel ceases all settlement activities, deeming this "essential" for salvaging a two-state solution.
