UN, EU denounce approval of fresh settlement homes

The recent decision “calls into question the Israeli government’s stated commitment to a negotiated two-state solution in the Middle East Peace Process,” a EU statement read.

...
UN chief Ban Ki-moon denounced Netanyahu’s move and called on the government to reverse its decision.

Ban declared that “settlements are illegal under international law, an impediment to peace and cannot be reconciled” with Israel’s “stated intention to pursue a two-state solution,” his spokesman said in a statement released in New York.

The UN, EU, and US (executive branch) seem to be aligned on this now--they are all saying they no longer believe Israel when it claims it's committed to the two-state solution.

They've arlready said that they don't give a shit. Their moving ahead with more building should be met with a vote at the UN. I would love to see the USA abstain for once.
