European nations oppose the project
France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom expressed their rejection of the "E1" settlement project in the West Bank, warning that it undermines the prospects for a two-state solution and enhances Israel's international isolation. The countries confirmed that the project threatens the territorial connectivity between the Palestinian territories and undermines the possibility of establishing a contiguous Palestinian state. They also believe that the project is illegal under international law. The four governments called on Israel to withdraw its project plans and halt settlement expansion, warning that continued settlement policies distance the prospects of peace and negatively affect Israel's international standing. They also urged companies not to participate in construction tenders related to the project, reaffirming their commitment to achieving a peace solution based on a two-state outcome.
