Israel plans new houses in the West-Jordan-Land. 3400 new homes are the plan. Many countries do not like this.
Germany and other countries criticize the plan. France, Italy and Great Britain say no. Canada and Norway say no too.
The West-Jordan-Land is land between Israel and Jordan. New houses divide the land. A state for Palestinians becomes very hard. This is the Zwei-Staaten-Lösung.
Politicians say: The houses break the Völker-Recht. Völker-Recht are rules for all countries. The Vereinten Nationen say: The houses are illegal.
Countries warn firms. Firms must not help with the building. Bad things can happen to firms.
Friedrich Merz is the head of Germany. He criticizes Israel. Gideon Saar is a minister in Israel. He defends the houses.
