Five European nations on the UN Security Council warned businesses against seeking contracts for Israel's E1 settlement project in the occupied West Bank.
The E1 development, comprising more than 3,400 approved housing units east of Jerusalem, risks dividing the West Bank and separating East Jerusalem from a future Palestinian state.
