UK condemns Israel's expansion of control in the West Bank

Britain condemned Israel's decision to expand control in the West Bank, stating it undermines peace efforts. The UK Foreign Office called unilateral changes to the West Bank's geography and demographics unacceptable and against international law, urging Israel to reverse the decisions. This action follows Israel's security cabinet approval of measures to expand law enforcement and allow land purchases for settlements, which the UN considers part of a future Palestinian state.
