A group of US Senate Democrats is moving to sanction individuals and entities involved in Israel’s E1 settlement project. The legislation, introduced on September 23, would target those facilitating settlement construction or related activities in E1, including participation in tenders, and those involved in organizing, financing, or transferring Israeli civilians into illegal settlements in the area. The E1 project is considered consequential as its development could disrupt territorial continuity in the occupied West Bank and further isolate East Jerusalem.
