Haaretz details Israel's legal strategy for E1 settlements
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that the Israeli government quickly prepared a tender for the construction of approximately 1,200 settlement units in the E1 area behind the Green Line, between Jerusalem and Ma'ale Adumim, without informing the Office of the Attorney General, sparking widespread international condemnation. Legal procedures require notifying the Attorney General of any new developments, but government officials did not notify the court or relevant authorities about these tenders in advance, aiming to prevent legal intervention and to create a settlement reality ahead of the upcoming elections at the end of October. Completing the tender process would lead to contracts with contractors, making them difficult to annul later and threatening the potential establishment of a future Palestinian state due to the severing of the strategic corridor between the northern and southern West Bank. Western countries, led by Britain, France, and Germany, along with Arab nations, responded by expressing their opposition to the project, while Britain is considering imposing sanctions on Israel, such as banning trade with the settlements, as a reaction to the Israeli move.
