> France, Germany, Britain and Italy on Thursday condemned Israel’s plans to open construction tenders for the “E1” residential project in the occupied West Bank. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis live among millions of Palestinians on land captured in the 1967 war. Nearly all countries and several UN bodies deem the settlements contrary to international law, a position Israel disputes on historical and biblical grounds.
