UN warns E1 settlements would sever West Bank and threaten two‑state solution
Summary
The UN spokesperson said new tenders and outposts in the E1 area risk severing northern and southern West Bank territory and called on Israel to refrain from further steps, citing the ICJ advisory opinion and relevant UN resolutions.
The United Nations spokesperson said the Secretary‑General is "deeply alarmed by reports of new Israeli illegal settlement outposts in the occupied West Bank, including new tenders, including for the E1 area." The briefing warned that development in E1 "would effectively sever the connection between the northern and the southern West Bank" and could have "severe consequences for the territorial integrity of the occupied Palestinian territory."
The spokesperson reiterated a call for Israel to act in accordance with United Nations resolutions and the International Court of Justice advisory opinion of July 19, 2024. The briefing also described a separate Israeli operation near Hebron that imposed a curfew affecting roughly 40,000 people and reported homes used as temporary interrogation centers, stressing the humanitarian impact of operations that restrict movement and access to services.
