Congress Urges Action on E-1 Settlement
Eighty-five members of the U.S. House of Representatives sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, urging the use of all diplomatic tools to stop the Israeli settlement construction project in the E-1 area east of Jerusalem. The project is considered a turning point for the future of the West Bank, as it threatens to separate the northern West Bank from the southern part and connect Jerusalem to the settlement of Ma'ale Adumim, with Israelis nearing the stage of moving from planning to actual execution. Israeli actions in the region, including construction tenders and settlement expansion, are causing significant concern within Congress, which describes these moves as a threat to the establishment of a contiguous Palestinian state.
