European Countries Urge Settlement Moratorium
Four European countries—France, Italy, Britain, and Germany—called on Israel to halt its settlement expansion in the West Bank and urged it to withdraw the tenders announced for the construction of over 1,200 housing units within the "E1" project. The four nations stated that continuing with the project would threaten the two-state solution, undermine the unity of Palestinian territories, and increase instability and violence in the region. Israel had announced in August 2025 a settlement project involving the construction of approximately 3,400 housing units in the "E1" area, located between the Ma'ale Adumim settlement and East Jerusalem. The announcement faced international criticism and Palestinian rejection, especially after tenders for building 1,200 units were launched a week before the scheduled Israeli elections at the end of October.
