EU Leaders Demand Israel Halt West Bank Project

France24 World · world

France, Italy, Britain, and Germany have condemned Israel's settlement project in the occupied West Bank. This follows Israel opening bids for over 1,200 homes under the E1 plan. This project, green-lit last year, aims to further separate East Jerusalem from the West Bank. International pressure mounts on Israel to halt the controversial expansion, which critics argue undermines peace efforts and Palestinian access.
