The plan known as “E-1” will, if implemented, lead to the division and isolation of its north from its south. Observers consider it to be “the end of any hope for establishing a Palestinian state from a geographical standpoint.” Netanyahu said in a press conference on Thursday that “Israel’s eastern borders will be in the Jordan Valley, not at the Ma’ale Adumim settlement.” The plan, approved by Netanyahu, has caused international controversy as it aims to eliminate the chances of establishing a Palestinian state with recognized geographical scope and borders. Netanyahu’s statements regarding the West Bank come as the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip continues, which has resulted in the death of about 63,000 Palestinians and injured about 164,000 others from October 2023 to September this year.
