Asked about the launch of the E1 construction project between Jerusalem and Maale Adumim, the US State Department stated: "A stable West Bank keeps Israel secure and is in line with the Trump administration’s goal to achieve peace in the region.”
I24News analyst Amichai Stein notes that this answer is a "180-degree reversal compared to previous U.S. administrations’ statements, which warned against construction, ruled that it undermines the two-state idea, and more."
