The United Nations Human Rights Office has declared Israel's plan to build thousands of new homes between an Israeli settlement in the West Bank and East Jerusalem as illegal under international law, warning that it could lead to the forced eviction of Palestinians in the area. This development is part of broader Israeli efforts, supported by the United States, to relocate hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. These relocation plans, presented by Israel and the U.S. as humanitarian measures, have faced criticism from European and Arab governments, who view them as unrealistic and potential violations of international law. Israeli settlement expansion, particularly in areas such as the E1 colony, has been described by various sources including Haaretz and Le Figaro as a move that threatens the viability of a future Palestinian state. The comprehensive Israeli strategy is seen as aiming to permanently undermine the concept of Palestinian statehood. Additionally, there are reports suggesting the possibility of millions of Palestinian refugees being resettled in Europe, which some interpret as beneficial to Israel by reducing the Palestinian population in contested areas.
