 Governmental Construction in East
Jerusalem Post-Annapolis

Introduction

• Since the November 2007 Annapolis Peace Conference,

there has been an unmistakable "surge" in Israeli
settlement-related activity in East Jerusalem.

• This activity includes both the issuance of new tenders

for construction and technical steps taken to prepare the
way for and expedite additional projects and tenders.

• This presentation summarizes the state-of-play of all

known Israeli settlement projects in East Jerusalem.

• The maps and data included herein reflect publicly-

available information and information provided by
reliable sources within the Israeli bureaucracy.

• It is probable that additional projects are being worked

on within the various ministries and the Jerusalem
municipality; as these come to light, the presentation will
be updated accordingly.

Tenders Published by the Government of

)Israel since Annapolis )822 units

The publication of tenders – i.e., invitations by the government of(

Israel for private contractors to purchase construction rights – is
a significant step towards implementation of a project. Once
third-party interests are involved, stopping a project becomes
exponentially more difficult, requiring, among other things, the
).government to financially compensate the third parties involved
