European nations urge West Bank settlement pause
Five European countries that are members of the Security Council—France, the United Kingdom, Greece, Latvia, and Denmark—called for a halt to settlement activity in the occupied West Bank. They condemned the continued construction projects in Palestinian areas, especially in the "E1" region, considering that such actions threaten the prospects of reaching peace and undermine the possibility of establishing an independent Palestinian state. They also urged Israel to release the withheld Palestinian tax revenues and rejected any attempts to change the legal status of the holy sites in Jerusalem.
