The European Union criticized Israel's decision to advance a new settlement scheme in the E-1 area east of occupied Jerusalem, Shehab Wire reported. The bloc warned of serious consequences for the West Bank's future and the feasibility of a two-state solution.
The E-1 zone, located east of the Palestinian capital, has emerged as a focal point in disputes between Israelis and Palestinians over territorial expansion. Palestinian officials have long objected to settlement activity in the area, arguing it fragments the West Bank and undermines efforts to establish an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.
