LONDON, England – The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has summoned the Israeli ambassador today following the Israeli Higher Planning Commission’s decision to approve the E1 settlement plan
An FCDO spokesperson said:
“Today, the ambassador of Israel to the United Kingdom was summoned to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.
“Her Excellency Tzipi Hotovely was summoned in response to the Israeli Higher Planning Committee’s decision to approve plans for settlement construction in the E1 area, East of Jerusalem.
“The UK and 21 international partners have written to condemn this decision in the strongest terms. If implemented, these settlement plans would be a flagrant breach of international law and would divide a future Palestinian state in two, critically undermining a two-state solution.”
