Democratic senators press Israel to cancel West Bank housing project
A group of Democratic senators, led by Sen. Ruben Gallego, wrote to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urging him to reverse a planned housing development in the West Bank's E1 area. The project, which includes over 1,200 housing units, would isolate East Jerusalem from Palestinian population centers. The lawmakers argue the construction would undermine prospects for a two-state solution.
