France and allies urge settlement freeze
France, Italy, Britain, and Germany have called on Israel to halt settlement expansion in the West Bank and to withdraw tenders for the construction of more than 1,200 housing units in the "E-1" project, which Israel has proposed in a southern part of the project east of Jerusalem. This tender is considered an executive step in a plan aimed at reshaping the area between Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley, covering approximately 12,000 dunams, dividing the West Bank into two halves, and threatening the prospects of establishing an independent Palestinian state. These actions come amidst escalating tensions, amid an unprecedented level of settler violence and restrictions on the Palestinian economy, while Palestinian factions have warned that the project aims to redraw the region from a geopolitical perspective, threatening the future of a two-state solution.
