Dear Mr Cook
We, the undersigned, are writing to express our support and appreciation for the courageous step you have taken to visit Jabal Abu Ghneim in the Israeli Occupied Palestinian Territories during your last diplomatic tour of the Middle East. We believe that the visit has highlighted the illegality of the Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian lands and Israel's blatant violations of International Law and United Nations resolutions concerning Jerusalem.
Enjoying the unquestioning support of the Americans in international fora, Israeli governments over the past few decades have continued to behave as though they were exempt from the provisions of international legality. Successive Israeli governments of all political colours have consistently refused to accept the will of the international community that settlements are illegal and that they are a very serious obstacle to peace. We believe that this has severely undermined the authority and effectiveness of the United Nations in the area and elsewhere in the world.
