Israel's West Bank Settlement Expansion Sparks International Law Violation Concerns

Israel plans to build at least 4,000 new Jewish-only settler homes in the illegally occupied West Bank of Palestine, which violates international law and constitutes crimes against humanity, according to human rights defenders. The Biden administration opposes the E1 project, which would reduce the Palestinian population in East Jerusalem and further diminish hopes of a two-state solution. The progressive political group Justice Democrats called on Congress to pass H.R. 3103, which would ensure that no U.S. tax dollars are used to support Israeli military actions that harm Palestinian children and families.
