UK Insists Israel Halt New Construction next to Jerusalem
(Jewish News-UK) Lee Harpin - British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said Wednesday that the Israeli government's publication of a tender for 1,200 homes in the E1 area next to Jerusalem "would endanger the viability of a two-state solution." He threatened: "In the coming weeks we will set out a comprehensive set of measures to respond to Israeli government policies." Miliband said he had spoken with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, insisting the Israeli government must halt E1 plans immediately and retract the tender.
