Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway and Canada issued a joint statement on the 20th condemning Israel's “E1 zone” settlement construction plan and urging the Israeli government to immediately withdraw the plan. The seven countries said in a statement that the Israeli government announced that the tender decision for the “E1 Zone” settlement construction project is “unacceptable”. The project will split the West Bank, damage the continuity of the Palestinian territory, and damage the prospects for the “two-state solution.”
