Where is Israel's proposed West Bank settlement the UK opposes?

What the report says

BBC World News reports that the UK has moved to oppose Israel’s plan for a new settlement development in the occupied West Bank, with the focus on the proposed E1 area near Ma’ale Adumim. The report is framed by a BBC visit to Ma’ale Adumim, an existing Israeli settlement that overlooks the proposed site, helping locate the dispute geographically and politically.

According to the BBC, Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband told Parliament on Tuesday that the UK would impose sanctions on Israeli settlements in the West Bank. He said the measures were intended to deter further settlement expansion and to block development in E1. The report adds that Israel has issued tenders for roughly 1,200 homes at the proposed site, underscoring the scale of the plan.

The BBC also says Miliband announced a ban on imports from what he described as Israel’s illegal settlements in the West Bank. In his remarks, he accused settler violence of contributing to ethnic cleansing and criticized the Israeli government for not stopping it. Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar responded sharply, saying Israel would close the British consulate in Jerusalem and describing the UK government as hostile.

The dispute matters because E1 has long been viewed by many governments as especially sensitive: construction there could affect the contiguity of a future Palestinian state. That broader context is generally understood in international reporting, though the BBC item focuses mainly on the UK response and Israel’s reaction.
