Report: Peace Now annual settlement report shows an increase of constructions

Ghassan Bannoura - IMEMC News

Wednesday January 28, 2009

The Israeli left wing organization Peace Now released on Wednesday its annual report about the Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank.

The report show that the number of settlers in the West Bank as of 2008: 285,800, while the number of new structures built there during 2008: 1,518 (including 261 in outposts). At least 1,257 new structures were built in settlements, including 748 permanent buildings and 509 caravans, compared to 800 structures in 2007 (including 442 permanent structures and 368 caravans), a 60% rise.

The figures are based on aerial photos and site visits by the Peace Now Settlement Watch team in the last year.

Outposts

Peace Now noted in the report that not a single real outpost was evacuated. In addition at least 261 new structures were built, including 227 caravans and 34 permanent structures, compared to 98 structures in 2007 (including 82 caravans and 16 permanent structures), a 2.5-fold increase. In three of every four outposts construction or development work took place in 2008 – in 74 of the 99 outposts. Besides these outposts there is a large number of additional points controlled by the settlers but without their permanent presence, peace no reported.

While fighting goes on in Gaza the settlers are building roads

According to the report during the war in Gaza the settlers took advantage of the fact that all of the public attention was on the south to expand construction in the outposts and settlements. At this point it is difficult to assess the amount of construction done during the weeks of the war but it can be stated with certainty that a number of new roads were opened, with the goal of extending control in the areas near the settlements:

o Opening a road connecting the settlement of Eli with the settlement of Shilo o Opening a road extending control surrounding the outpost of Haro'e o Expanding road ascending from Eli cemetery towards Hayovel outpost

o Opening the road from outpost of Adi towards Allon Road o Beginning of opening road from Zayit Ra’anan outpost southward New road between Shilo and Eli, January 21, 2009 Road near Haro'e outpost, through plowed field, January 21, 2009

East Jerusalem

• Tenders were issued to build 1,184 new housing units in East Jerusalem, compared to 793 in 2007. Only 46 of the tenders in 2007 were issued during the first 11 months of the year. All of the other 747 were issued in December 2007, right after the Annapolis Conference.

• Construction plans for 5,431 housing units in East Jerusalem were open for public review, of which 2,730 housing units received final approval, compared to 391 housing units approved during 2007.

Israeli Government policy in 2008:

Peace Now report shows that 2008 began after the Annapolis conference that met at the end of 2007, with high expectations for diplomatic developments. Along with the declaration of a commitment to freeze the settlements, the government continued the construction of the settlements in three main ways:

1. Initiating and promoting construction and plans in the settlements west of the Wall , with the pretext of it not having a bearing on the final settlement.

2. Issuing permits and licenses for plans and construction, at the request of the settlers, as part of agreements and understandings with them.

3. Ignoring and non-enforcement upon unauthorized construction and development.
