Israel announces West Bank settlement that rights groups say could imperil Palestinian state

Israel's far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich approved plans overnight for a settlement that would split East Jerusalem from the occupied West Bank, a move his office said would bury the idea of a Palestinian state. It was not immediately clear if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backed the plan to revive the long-frozen E1 scheme, which Palestinians and world powers have said would effectively lop the West Bank in two and will likely draw international ire. In a statement headlined 'Burying the idea of a Palestinian state,' Smotrich's spokesperson said the minister would give a news conference later on Thursday about the plan to build 3,401 houses for Israeli settlers between an existing settlement in the West Bank and Jerusalem. Israel had frozen construction plans there since 2012 because of objections from the United States, European allies and other world powers who considered the project a threat to any future peace deal with the Palestinians. There was no immediate statement from Netanyahu or the broader government. Smotrich's popularity has fallen in recent months with polls showing his party would not win a single seat if parliamentary elections were held today. The E1 project would connect the Maale Adumin settlement in the West Bank with Jerusalem. Most of the international community views Israeli settlements in the West Bank, and its military occupation over the region since 1967, as illegal.

EDINBURGH, Scotland--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CreateFuture has secured a technology partnership with Skyscanner which will see the digital consultancy work closely with the global travel marketplace's tech teams across its Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, and Barcelona offices in areas including audience experience, data and AI tooling, and app experience.

We are excited to be working with their world-class engineering team to accelerate, grow, and contribute to their future success.' Andrew Phillips, Chief Technology Officer at Skyscanner, said: 'CreateFuture's proven capabilities, culture match, and overall collaborative approach made them the ideal choice for us, and we fully expect their team to be instrumental in helping us to achieve our engineering goals.'

And for our business, it not only strengthens our position at the forefront of digital transformation in Scotland, but helps to lay the ground for further expansion across the UK and internationally.'
