UK Summons Israeli Diplomat Over West Bank Settlement
Britain's authorities announced the recall of the Israeli chargé d'affaires and issued a request for him to halt a large settlement project in the West Bank, following Israel's issuance of a tender to build over 1,200 settlement units in the area. This comes after Israel approved the "E-1" project, which spans nearly 12 square kilometers, leading to international condemnations. The UN Secretary-General described it as threatening the possibility of establishing an independent and territorially connected Palestinian state. Britain’s Foreign Secretary considered this step unacceptable, emphasizing the need to withdraw the tender and halt settlement expansion, with a promise to reveal measures including imposing sanctions on those involved. These efforts are part of Britain’s broader pressure to stop expansion practices that threaten the two-state solution.
