EU Condemns West Bank Settlement Expansion
The European Union and five Arab countries condemned Israel's E1 settlement project plan in the West Bank, emphasizing that it will destroy the territorial continuity of the Palestinian land and undermine the two-state solution. The project aims to connect the Ma'ale Adumim settlement with West Jerusalem through a Palestinian area. Israel has confiscated around 12,000 dunams to create more than 4,000 housing units and illegal hotels. Approval of the project has heightened fears of separating northern from southern West Bank, complicating the establishment of a geographically contiguous Palestinian state. The European Union and the Arab countries strongly condemned the plan, viewing it as provocative and a division of the occupied land.
