UK and Allies Condemn Israels E-one Occupation Plan, Urge Sanctions

The UK and several Western nations joined dozens of countries in condemning Israel's controversial E1 settlement plan. Arab and Islamic foreign ministers from Qatar, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt rejected the plan, calling it illegal and threatening regional peace. Spain also strongly condemned Israel's call for tenders to build over 1,200 settlement homes. The ministers warned the plan endangers Palestinian territorial contiguity and undermines the two-state solution. They urged immediate action, including sanctions, and demanded Israel halt all settlement activities. Palestine called for broader international support for these measures.
