Israel’s Higher Planning Committee has approved construction plans for a large settlement project in the E1 area of the occupied West Bank, east of Jerusalem. The long-contested site is strategically located between Jerusalem and the settlement of Ma’ale Adumim, and diplomats have long warned that building there could further fragment Palestinian territory. In a joint statement released on Thursday, 21 countries—including the United Kingdom and France—called the decision "unacceptable" and "a violation of international law." The signatories urged Israel to reverse the approval immediately, warning that unilateral moves in the territory risk fueling further violence.
