E1 is the tiny parcel of land, some 4.5 square miles in area, on which Israel plans to build 1,234 housing units to accommodate the natural growth of the Jewish population in Judea and Samaria. It has every right to do so. Jews have populated Judea and Samaria for the past 3500 years; it is there, and not in Haifa and Tel Aviv, where Jewish history was made. The League of Nations included Judea and Samaria in the land that was set aside for inclusion in the Mandate for Palestine. When the League of Nations closed down, Article 80 of the UN Charter transferred to the United Nations its commitment to see that Mandate finally lead to the creation of a Jewish state. In addition, E1 is in Area C of Judea and Samaria, and thus fully under the control, military and civilian, of Israel.
More on the Danish demand for an emergency UNSC meeting to discuss Israel’s building plans for E1, a tiny parcel which is all of 4.5 square miles in area, can be found here: “Denmark, European countries pushing for emergency UN security council meeting on E1,” by Lazar Berman, Times of Israel, November 11, 2026:
The United Nations Security Council is preparing to convene an emergency meeting next week on Israeli plans to build in the E1 area of the West Bank, east of Jerusalem, Israel’s Mission to the UN tells The Times of Israel.
The effort is being led by a number of European countries, led by UNSC member Denmark….
“While the Middle East is on fire and Iran’s terrorist regime continues to threaten global peace, European countries are choosing to summon the Security Council for an emergency meeting simply because Israel is building in its own country,” Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon tells The Times of Israel.
“This is a moral disgrace and proof of how completely out of touch with reality these countries have become. Our right to build and develop our country is indisputable. We will not accept dictates or moral lectures from those who choose to turn a blind eye to real terrorism.”…
An American veto will likely block any attempt to censure Israel for building housing on what has been Jewish land for 3,500 years. So this whole thing will be merely performative, a chance for 13 of the 15 member countries (with the US and Greece in Israel’s corner) to vie with one another on how beastly they can be to the pariah state of Israel. As for this matter of contiguity that apparently exercises so many, either Israeli population centers will be contiguous, or Palestinian population centers in Judea and Samaria will be. They cannot both be. Choose one.

As Europe falls to Islamization, Leftists partner with Islam’s Muslims against Israel, America, and the West to gain more taxpayer, more political power, and more government control. Anyone who seeks to divide the land of Israel will fall and perish. The LORD said in Joel 3:2, “I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.” See also Genesis 12:3; Zechariah 12:2-3; Leviticus 26:44-45, etc.

Woe is me…oh the calamity…poor Denmark, how can they sleep at night knowing the Jews are going to build houses on their own land?
somehistory says
What business is it of denmark…or any nation….to be whining and trying to interfere in the housing plans of Israel?
What other nation has this kind of interference in its internal governmental policies or decisions.?

They must be badly scared of their pet Muslim population
Bean🫘 says
No not really. Denmark is trying to solve its migration problem. It is more scared of the whites, who are more rabbid than the Muslims for Palestine.
Most of the pro Palestine marchers and maniacs are mostly whites in Europe. Israel is very unpopular, I don’t understand why, they have the same problem Europe does, Islamization.
James Lincoln says
Why is this development considered an emergency when the Middle East faces threats involving terrorism, Iran, and regional warfare?
There is a reasonable argument that the Security Council’s priorities deserve scrutiny.
