The proposed E1 housing expansion
Gone quiet since
Where it stands
As of its August 22, 2026 report, Israel was marketing 1,400 homes in the E1 corridor as the first phase of a plan for about 3,000 homes linking Jerusalem with Ma'ale Adumim. Critics say the proposed corridor would sever West Bank contiguity between Ramallah and Bethlehem and isolate East Jerusalem; the proposal has not been reported approved, withdrawn, or abandoned.
