Smotrich: Israel Will Respond to Brit sanctions
Tensions continue between Israel and the international community regarding settlement policies in the West Bank, as the Israeli Finance Minister warned of countermeasures in response to threats from Britain and other countries to impose sanctions or restrictions. These threats come in reaction to a large-scale construction project in the E1 area. The Israeli project aims to connect the settlement of Maale Adumim with Jerusalem by building approximately 3,400 settlement units on an area of nearly 12,000 dunams, which is considered a threat to the possibility of establishing a contiguous Palestinian state and undermines the two-state solution, according to the United Nations. Meanwhile, Britain is preparing to introduce comprehensive measures, reflecting an international escalation against Israeli settlement expansion.
