The Israeli government has officially approved the construction of new settlements in the E1 area located in East Jerusalem.
According to Israeli media, specifically Haaretz newspaper, this decision will further escalate the situation in the region and provoke international reactions.
Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated in his announcement: “The Palestinian state is being erased.”
It is emphasized that the decision will have a serious negative impact on the peace process in the region and the possibility of a two-state solution.
