What happened, for context

Israel's Land Authority opened bidding on August 20, 2026, for construction tenders to build over 1,200 housing units in the E1 settlement project in the occupied West Bank. Multiple countries—France, Germany, the UK, Italy, Belgium, and Malaysia—condemned the move, with some officials warning of sanctions and stating that E1 would divide the West Bank and undermine a two-state solution. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar rejected criticism from the UK.
