A group of 12 European countries urges Israel to scrap plans for the construction of more than 3,000 homes in West Bank settlements.
A day after the US criticized the plan, France, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden say in a joint statement that Israel should “immediately” reverse its decision to build the homes.
The United Kingdom, which is no longer part of the European Union, separately issues a similar statement.
