Israel Postpones E1 Settlement Tender Citing Election Concerns; Ma'ale Adumim to Appeal

Israel's Legal Advisor has delayed the tender for 1,234 housing units in the E1 area by one month, citing potential illegal election propaganda. The Mayor of Ma'ale Adumim criticizes the move as crossing a red line, and the municipality plans to appeal.
