EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen joined European nations in condemning Israel's plan to open construction tender calls for the West Bank settlement project known as "E1". The Israeli government's decision to publish these tenders for the E1 settlement project, von der Leyen stated on X, is unacceptable. She emphasized that her country has consistently opposed this move.
France, Germany, Britain, and Italy, in a joint statement on Thursday, also denounced the Israeli project. The Israeli government's decision to publish construction tenders for the E1 settlement project, they declared, is unacceptable. They added that the project undermines the two-state solution by dividing the West Bank and disrupting the contiguous territory of the Palestinians.
