Israel's finance minister is pressing for the E1 settlement tender in the occupied West Bank to move forward before the upcoming Knesset election. The E1 plan, long stalled under international pressure, would connect Jerusalem to the Ma'ale Adumim settlement bloc and is seen as effectively dividing the West Bank. The timing call ties the contested project to Israel's domestic electoral calendar.
