Congress opposition to E1 threatens Two-State plan
Thirty Democratic members of the U.S. Senate issued a statement expressing their concern over the settlement construction project in the E1 area east of Jerusalem. They warned that expansion there threatens the possibility of a contiguous Palestinian state and deepens land fragmentation, making a two-state solution more difficult. They called on the Israeli government to cancel the E1 bids and halt settlement expansion, and urged the Trump administration to use leverage tools, including sanctions, to stop the project. The statement emphasizes that a two-state solution remains the only path to achieving lasting peace for Palestinians and Israelis.
