Britain Calls on Israel to Stop West Bank Settlements
Britain announced the recall of the Israeli chargé d'affaires and called for the halt of a major settlement project in the occupied West Bank. Israel had issued a tender to build over 1,200 settlement units in the E1 area, which sparked international condemnation. The project, extending over approximately 12 square kilometers, is considered one of the most prominent expansion plans threatening the two-state solution, as it aims to hinder the possibility of establishing an independent and sovereign Palestinian state—especially by isolating East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank. Britain urged Israel to withdraw the tender and cease all forms of settlement expansion, promising to impose sanctions on those involved. It warned that such steps undermine any hopes of implementing a two-state solution. This comes amid international and parliamentary assurances that settlements constitute a violation of international law and disconnect Palestinians from their lands, further complicating the peace process.
