Al-Badr organization for defending Bedouin and targeted village rights said the E1 project between Jerusalem and the Ma'ale Adumim settlement goes beyond urban development, instead forming an integrated settlement system that could reshape the landscape, Shehab Wire reported. The group characterized the initiative as a coordinated effort to restructure the settlement map in the area.
The organization warned that Bedouin communities face displacement threats from the expansion plan, which it describes as part of a broader strategy rather than isolated construction activity.
