The UK Foreign Office and a group of Western countries are due to announce a package of sanctions this week to deter companies from becoming involved in the proposed E1 settlement project in the West Bank. Tenders for the development of more than 3,000 homes between Jerusalem and Ma’ale Adumim were opened this month, according to the Guardian. The E1 development would prevent a contiguous Palestinian West Bank. Nine countries, including France, the UK, and Australia, warned that violence in settlements must stop and no company should be involved in the E1 development. According to the Guardian, 137 Labour MPs signed a letter demanding urgent, concrete action to stop violence in settlements.
