What happened
Amana plans to build 122 homes in Sheikh Jarrah, East Jerusalem, marking its first settlement project in the area. The proposal involves replacing existing residential buildings at the Shepherd Hotel compound with a larger, 12-story development. The project has received support from the Ministry of Construction and Housing and is scheduled for an initial review on November 11, 2026.

Why it matters
The construction is part of a broader push by Israeli government bodies to build thousands of homes. Amana has previously driven settlement growth across the occupied West Bank, and this project reinforces the settlement growth dynamic in the region.
Israeli authorities have accelerated settlement expansion in both the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
