Israel finalizes 3401 E1 units bid
The article concerns Israel's preparations to launch 3,401 settlement units in the E1 area east of Jerusalem, including bids to build 2,167 units ahead of the Knesset elections scheduled for October 27, 2026. This is part of the Israeli government’s effort to accelerate the implementation of the project, with the new tenders announced just two days before the elections, aiming to strengthen the connection between Jerusalem and Maale Adumim and to expand settlement infrastructure, despite international objections and legal challenges related to the legitimacy of the project and its impact on the possibility of establishing a contiguous Palestinian state. The project also includes a commercial and industrial zone covering 1,355 dunams and is considered one of the most sensitive settlement files, as it reinforces Israeli settlement activity and complicates the land dispute, with expectations that it will establish a geographic and political reality that will be difficult to change in the future.
