EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaya Callas said on the 2nd that Israel's “E1 Zone” settlement construction project will destroy the prospects of the “two-state solution.” At a press conference after the informal meeting of the foreign ministers of EU member states, Callas said that the “E1 Zone” settlement construction project is like “inserting a wedge in the West Bank” and will further damage the prospects of the “two-state solution.” She also stated that incidents of settler violence against Palestinians are still increasing and are often unprosecuted.
