Brussels: The European Union on Wednesday condemned an Israeli plan to build 2,610 new settler homes in annexed east Jerusalem, calling it "highly detrimental" to diplomatic efforts for Israeli-Palestinian peace.
Brussels called on Israel to "urgently reverse" actions leading to settlement expansion in east Jerusalem, which the Palestinians hope to make the capital of a future state alongside Israel.
"This represents a further highly detrimental step that undermines prospects for a two-state solution and calls into question Israel's commitment to a peaceful negotiated settlement with the Palestinians," the EU's diplomatic service said.
The housing units, which have been slated for construction since 2012 in the neighbourhood of Givat Hamatos, were given final approval last week, according to the Peace Now watchdog.
The project has also drawn sharp criticism from the United States, with President Barack Obama on Wednesday telling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Washington's deep concern over the proposed development, and from France.
The 28-country bloc also called on Israel to end decades of settlement building in east Jerusalem and the West Bank, land which Israel seized in the 1967 war with the Arabs and on which the Palestinian want to build a future state.
Israel's settlement building in the occupied West Bank and annexed east Jerusalem, which is illegal under international law, has caused the breakdown of several rounds of peace talks supported by the United States, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations.
The bloc said future EU-Israel relations depended on how well the Jewish state pursued a lasting peace based on a two-state solution.

European Union Condemns New Israeli Settlements in East Jerusalem
The European Union may renew tariffs on steel pipes from China for another five years, highlighting worries in Europe about the Chinese threat to the EUs manufacturing base.
The EU said it would examine whether to re-impose the duties as high as 39.2 percent on imports from China of seamless pipes and tubes, which are used in the construction, energy and engineering industries.
In 2009, seeking to protect European producers including ArcelorMittal (MT) and Vallourec SA (VK), the EU imposed the levies to punish Chinese exporters such as Hengyang Valin Steel Tube Co. for allegedly having sold the pipes and tubes in Europe below cost, a practice known as dumping.
The review will determine whether the expiry of the measures would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping, the European Commission, the 28-nation blocs trade authority in Brussels, said today in the Official Journal. The anti-dumping duties were due to lapse Oct. 7 and will now stay in place during the probe, which can last as long as 15 months.
The case has highlighted the EUs readiness to protect European manufacturers from Chinese competitors because, when it applied the five-year duties in 2009, the bloc cited the threat of injury to European producers as a result of cheaper imports. European anti-dumping duties usually aim to counter actual harm to EU industries rather than the possibility of it.
Chinese exporters of seamless pipes and tubes increased their combined share of the EU market to 17.1 percent in the 12 months through June 2008 from 1 percent in 2005, the bloc said in 2009. Chinese exporters generated sales in the bloc of about 388 million euros ($490 million) in the 12 months to June 30, 2008, the EU said.
The inquiry into whether to renew the levies stems from a June 27 request by a European industry group on behalf of manufacturers that account for more than a quarter of the EUs output of seamless pipes and tubes, the commission said today. It didnt identify any companies.
