WHAT HAPPENED

The European Union is reportedly evaluating sanctions against Israel if construction advances in the E1 settlement area of the West Bank. The headline describes a potential policy response, not confirmed sanctions.

SO WHAT?

Sanctions would mark a significant deterioration in EU-Israel relations and affect the wider conflict environment.
