UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned Israeli colonization of occupied Palestine.

He said that this calls into question Israel's commitment to a two-state resolution of the dispute. That's an understatement; according to Uri Avnery, Netanyahu never seriously entertained the possibility of such an agreement, and engaged in sham peace talks only to forestall international cognizance of that fact.

Those peace talks collapsed a couple of years ago, and international cognizance is taking hold.
