British banks and financial institutions are being warned by a group of MPs not to invest in Israel’s planned E1 settlement in the West Bank, despite new UK trade laws banning investment in illegal settlements not yet being in place. The all-party Britain-Palestine group of MPs sent a letter to banks on Tuesday, urging them to review their obligations and avoid cooperating with the settlement project. Meanwhile, in the United States, lawmakers are seeking sanctions against Israel for its E1 settlement plan, which has drawn widespread international condemnation. The E1 settlement project, located in the West Bank, has been criticized for potentially dividing Palestinian territory in two. The UK and US responses highlight growing concerns over the expansion of Israeli settlements in the region.
