UK Condemns Israeli Plans for 1,200 Housing Units in E1 Area as Illegal and Threatening Peace
British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband condemned Israel's tender for constructing 1,200 housing units in the E1 area beyond the Green Line, calling it an unacceptable and destructive act. He warned that the project would harm the heart of Palestine and jeopardize the separation between the West Bank and East Jerusalem, potentially undermining the viability of a two-state solution. Miliband emphasized that settlements violate international law and damage peace prospects. He informed Israeli Foreign Minister Gidon Sa'ar that Israel must halt these plans immediately. Additionally, the Israeli embassy official in the UK was summoned for a meeting. Miliband announced that in the coming weeks, the UK will present a series of targeted sanctions against those involved in expanding the settlements.
