UK warns Israeli settlement plan would mark ‘flagrant’ breach of international law
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBritish foreign minister David Lammy says a widely condemned Israeli settlement plan would, if implemented, constitute a breach of international law and risk dividing a future Palestinian state.
The E1 project, which would bisect the West Bank and cut it off from East Jerusalem, received the final go-ahead today from a defense ministry planning commission.
“If implemented, it would divide a Palestinian state in two, mark a flagrant breach of international law and critically undermine the two-state solution,” Lammy says in a post on X, calling on the Israeli government to reverse the decision.
