The Ministry of Housing has published a new tender for the construction of 110 housing units in the settlement of Alon Shvut (Tender 261/2024). This is the second tender this year issued by the Ministry of Housing in the West Bank. As a reminder, in February, tenders were announced for 520 units in nine different settlements in the West Bank. The tender is intended for construction on the area of Plan 405/7/3, which was approved for validity in December 2021.
Peace Now: “This new tender adds to the additional construction that the Israeli government has been advancing across the West Bank since the beginning of the year. So far, the government has promoted over 8,700 units in the planning council, and with this new tender, the total number of housing units put up for tender stands at 630. Instead of focusing on areas like the north or the south that are in need of development and investment, the Israeli government chooses to promote housing units in occupied territories that do not belong to it.”
