Will the EU take action against Israel? | Inside Story

The report examines rising Israeli settler violence and settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank, focusing on the European Union divided response. EU ministers have condemned the attacks and the E-1 settlement project, which officials warn could sever Palestinian territory and undermine a two-state solution.

A panel of experts discusses the scale of daily settler attacks, the legal and territorial consequences of new construction, and the political obstacles preventing concrete EU action.
