France, Germany, UK and Italy condemn Israel's E1 West Bank construction plan

France, Germany, Britain and Italy jointly condemned Israel's plans to open construction tenders for the E1 residential project in the occupied West Bank on Thursday. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis have settled among millions of Palestinians on land captured in the 1967 war. Nearly all countries and UN bodies consider the settlements a violation of international law, a position Israel disputes citing historical and biblical ties to the land.
