Haaretz: Delay E1 tender until after elections
The Haaretz newspaper reported that the Israeli government's legal adviser ordered a one-month postponement of the construction tender in Area E1 in Jerusalem. The postponement is to be implemented immediately after the election to prevent its exploitation for prohibited propaganda purposes. The area, located between Jerusalem and the settlement of Ma'ale Adumim in the West Bank, is considered a red line internationally because it threatens the future continuity of a Palestinian state. This has led Israeli governments to refrain from encouraging construction there for nearly 30 years. Despite the announcement last month of a tender for about 1,200 housing units, and another tender for over 2,100 units scheduled just two days before the elections, these steps triggered protests from European and Arab countries. Washington also opposed them, and several nations warned that submitting bids could expose contractors to international sanctions.
