A Palestinian Authority official has saluted an EU statement condemning Israel's plans for expanding illegal West Bank settlements.

The PA on Saturday welcomed overnight remarks made by the European Union's Czech presidency that strongly urged Israel to reconsider its settlement plans, Xinhua news agency reported.

"The continuation of the settlement buildings…is not only a strike to the Arab Peace Initiative and Annapolis understandings, they also undermine the Arab and international efforts to reach the two state solution," the agency quoted as saying Nabil Abu Rdineh, a spokesman for acting Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas.

The 27-member bloc called on Israel in the statement to stop construction in the vicinity of the Adam settlement in the West Bank, as it would violate both the international law and Israel's commitments made to the Palestinians in the Annapolis peace talks.

"Settlement activity undermines all the efforts of Arab partners committed to a peaceful resolution of the conflict and calls into question the seriousness of Israel's commitment to the two-state solution," the EU said in a statement on Friday, adding that the issue was "a major obstacle to peace in the Middle East."

Abbas has said talk with Israel were "meaningless" if settlement construction did not stop.
