UK statement: response to E1 settlement plan in the occupied West Bank
The UK strongly opposes the announcement by the central planning bureau of Israel's Civil Administration to reintroduce the E1 settlement plan, frozen since 2021.
This plan would build over 3000 houses to the east of Jerusalem, dividing a future Palestinian state in two, and marking a flagrant breach of international law.
If implemented, the E1 settlement plan would critically undermine the two-state solution - the only route to a lasting peace for both Israelis and Palestinians.
