According to documents released by the Israeli government on the 6th, Israel has issued tender documents for plans to build settlement housing in the “E1 zone” of the West Bank. According to documents, the project plans to recruit developers to build 3,401 settlement housing units in the “E1 area” between east Jerusalem and Maal Adumin. The bid deadline is March 16. Construction of the project is likely to commence within the next few months. The Israeli NGO “Peace Now” issued a statement on the 6th stressing that plans to build settlement housing in the “E1 Zone” have greatly harmed the possibility of implementing the “two-state solution” in the future. This move will split the West Bank in two and make it impossible to connect the Palestinian regions of East Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Ramallah.
