It reflects the challenge that settlements present to a lasting peace in the region,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Press TV<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A UK church has unanimously voted to boycott Israeli products in a show of protest against Tel Aviv&#8217;s illegal settlements on Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
