How Israel Is Expanding Jerusalem to Neighboring Settlement

Ir Amim's Aviv Tatarsky: “The right wing is trying to whitewash the E1 project by claiming that Ma’aleh Adumim lies within the national consensus. Building there will convert Ma’aleh Adumim from an Israeli negotiating point which could be part of a land swap with the Palestinians into a death blow for the two-state solution. Investing billions in infrastructure there expresses a determination to foil such a solution. This involves the expulsion of thousands of Bedouin as well, while pretending to address the problems of nearby Arab neighborhoods. This is what makes continued Israeli rule over the Palestinians illegitimate.”
