🇩🇰🇮🇱 European countries push emergency UN meeting to stop Israeli settlement expansion that could split the West Bank
Denmark is leading efforts to convene the Security Council before Israel’s November 19 deadline for bids on 1,234 new homes in the E1 corridor.
The project would disrupt territorial links between East Jerusalem, Ramallah and Bethlehem, potentially undermining a future Palestinian state.
Israel is working with the U.S. and Greece to block the meeting.
Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon blasted Europe’s intervention as a “moral disgrace,” insisting Israel’s right to build is indisputable.
