Peace Now, an Israeli anti-settlement watchdog group, reported that the Israel Land Authority (ILA) has postponed a tender for construction in the E1 area. The decision to delay the tender until after the upcoming elections was made in accordance with the directive of the Attorney General.
The E1 area is a strategically significant location between Jerusalem and the West Bank settlement of Ma'ale Adumim. Construction there is highly controversial and has drawn international criticism due to its potential to fragment Palestinian territory and impede the possibility of a two-state solution.
Peace Now stated that the postponement is a direct result of pressure from their organization and other rights groups. The group claims that the Attorney General's office advised the ILA to delay the tender to avoid exacerbating political tensions during the election period. The specific date for the tender's re-issuance has not been announced, but it is expected to occur after the elections conclude.
