Israel respinge criticile Marii Britanii privind proiectul de colonizare în Cisiordania

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar rejected the UK's request to halt the E1 settlement project in the West Bank, asserting Jewish rights to the land. The UK government expressed strong opposition, calling the new housing bid unacceptable. Saar criticized the UK for blaming Israel while ignoring Palestinian extremism, claiming it fuels antisemitism. The E1 project aims to build 3,400 homes, which critics argue would fragment the West Bank and hinder a future Palestinian state. Tensions have escalated in the region following the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, leading to increased violence and military operations.
