The E1 zone (sometimes E-1 zone) or E1 area or E1 (short for East 1) () is an area of the West Bank within the municipal boundary of the Israeli settlement〔 of Ma'ale Adumim. It is located adjacent to and northeast of East Jerusalem and to the west of Ma'ale Adumim. It covers an area of , which is home to a number of Bedouin communities and their livestock as well as a large Israeli police headquarters.〔 The Palestinian tent site of Bab al Shams, which was established for several days in early 2013, also lay within this area. There are Israeli plans for construction in E1, named the E1 Plan, frozen since at least 2009 under international pressure. This plan is not synonymous with the expansion of Ma'ale Adumim.〔 The plan was initially conceived by Yitzhak Rabin in 1995.〔()〕 Construction in E1 is controversial. Critics say that the plan aims at preventing any possible expansion of East Jerusalem by creating a physical link between Ma'ale Adumim and Jerusalem,〔(possible peace between Israel and Palestine ), By Menachem Klein, Haim Watzman, Columbia University Press, 2007, ISBN 0-231-13904-7, ISBN 978-0-231-13904-5, Page 74.〕 and that it would effectively complete a crescent of Israeli settlements around East Jerusalem dividing it from the rest of the West Bank and its Palestinian population centres, and create a continuous Jewish population between Jerusalem and Ma'ale Adumim. It would also nearly bisect the West Bank jeopardizing the prospects of a contiguous Palestinian state.〔 Palestinians describe the E1 plan as an effort to Judaize Jerusalem.〔(Weekly Report: On Israeli Human Rights Violations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory ), Palestinian Center for Human Rights, accessdate 6 May 2009〕〔(Jerusalem ), Passia, accessdate 6 May 2009〕〔(U.S. Moment of Truth on Palestinian – Israeli Conflict ), Global GeoPolitics News, accessdate 6 May 2009〕 The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this. ==Geography== Situated in the West Bank,〔 the E1 area is bordered by the French Hill neighborhood of Jerusalem to the west, Abu Dis to the southwest, Kedar to the south, Ma'ale Adumim to the east, and Almon to the north. The area is mountainous and covers almost 3,000 acres. The E1 area runs between the Eastern most edges of annexed East Jerusalem and nearby Ma'ale Adumim, a large Israeli settlement located East of the pre-1967 green line. E1 falls within Area C of the West Bank, under full Israeli military and civilian control, and is administered by Ma'ale Adumim. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「E1 (Jerusalem)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
