Israel's finance minister demands E1 settlement tender proceed before election

Original: Israel’s finance minister demands E1 settlement tender proceed before Knesset election

Israel's finance minister is pressing for the E1 settlement tender in the occupied West Bank to move forward before the upcoming Knesset election. The E1 plan, long stalled under international pressure, would connect Jerusalem to the Ma'ale Adumim settlement bloc and is seen as effectively dividing the West Bank. The timing call ties the contested project to Israel's domestic electoral calendar.

Why now: Settlement expansion in the West Bank is highly contested internationally and the demand directly ties it to Israel's looming election.
