Israel’s E1 settlement expansion plan impossible without US support: Mustafa Barghouti
Israel’s approval of a major settlement expansion plan in the occupied West Bank marks “a death sentence to the idea and the possibility of a Palestinian independent state”, says Mustafa Barghouti, secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative. “This plan will completely separate the West Bank in two pieces … It will also isolate Jerusalem completely from the rest of the occupied Palestinian West Bank,” Barghouti told Al Jazeera from Ramallah, adding that thousands of Palestinians will also be displaced and communities will be destroyed. He explained that Israel would not have moved ahead with its E1 plans without the US’s unwavering support. “We haven’t heard any word from President Trump that he’s objecting to the Judaisation of the West Bank, or the illegal annexation of the West Bank,” Barghouti said. “This will continue unless the world community starts immediately – especially European countries – imposing sanctions on Israel,” he added. “Without real, powerful sanctions on Israel, without a military embargo on Israel, Israel will not stop and will continue this process of destruction of the lives of people in Gaza … and the lives of the people in the West Bank, as well, destroying any possibility of peace in this region.” Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish Find us on Facebook: https://ift.tt/GevQiwT Check our website: https://ift.tt/zSgUCZt Check out our Instagram page: https://ift.tt/6uGyBF3 Download AJE Mobile App: https://ift.tt/XQztylM #Palestine #Israel #OccupiedWestBank #EastJerusalem #E1Plan #TwoStateSolution #IllegalIsraeliSettlements #WestBankAnnexation #GreaterJerusalem #BezalelSmotrich
