Amman, Sept. 8 (Petra) - France, Canada, and the UK warned on Tuesday that illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank threaten prospects for a two-state solution.

French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the systemic expansion of settlements, specifically citing Israel’s recent decision to advance construction in the E1 area, alongside a spike in settler violence.

"The systematic expansion of settlements in the West Bank, as well as the sharp increase in settler violence, poses a direct threat to this vision for peace," the leaders stated, urging a halt to actions that jeopardize regional stability.
