What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

The Israeli Housing Ministry issued bids to construct over 1,200 housing units in the East Jerusalem area, a 12-square-kilometer corridor bordering Jerusalem. This area is situated within Area C of the West Bank, which remains under Israeli control for planning and zoning. Settlements have since been built in East Jerusalem following previous housing plans.
