    UN expresses 'grave concern' about settlement growth

    (AFP) - The United Nations on Tuesday denounced recent Israeli initiatives to accelerate settlement construction in occupied Palestinian territory, saying that "unilateral actions" are an obstacle to peace based on a two-state solution.

    "For the secretary general there is no plan B for the two states solution," UN chief Antonio Guterres's spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
