Israeli officials are monitoring with concern a diplomatic initiative advanced in recent weeks by several European nations aimed at pressuring the Trump administration to shift its policy toward Israel regarding Judea and Samaria, according to a report Wednesday evening by Yaron Avraham on Channel 12 News.
The European effort centers on ongoing construction in communities throughout Judea and Samaria, and incidents of nationalist violence by Israelis.
Israel has identified Britain, France, and Sweden as leading the initiative, with additional European countries joining the effort.
According to Israeli sources, the goal is to push Washington beyond condemnations toward concrete action.
The diplomatic campaign comes as security officials warn of potential escalation in Judea and Samaria. Tensions on the ground and political developments are feeding one another, and Israeli officials fear international pressure will continue to mount.
