"Israel Plans To Build New Police Station East of Jerusalem"


"Israel is starting to build in Area E-1, between Jerusalem and the West Bank settlement of Ma'aleh Adumim. The Civil Administration's Planning Council in the West Bank is expected to approve relocating the headquarters of the Judea and Samaria police district from the Jerusalem neighborhood of Ras al-Amud to Area E-1 in the coming days."

 
"Meanwhile, the Ir Amim organization, which says it "seeks to make Jerusalem a more viable city," is campaigning against construction in Area E-1. The group says construction would disrupt Palestinian territorial contiguity between the northern and southern sections of the West Bank and surround East Jerusalem with Jewish neighborhoods, in a way that would prevent its development as the capital of a future Palestinian state."
