Israel declares Area E1 closed military zone

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Saturday night, ordered security forces to evict the Palestinian “settlement” established in the area between Maaeleh Adummim and Jerusalem, known as Area E1 and close it off as a military zone. Several Palestinians moved into the area Friday and renamed it Bab el-Shams. Netanyahu also instructed the state prosecution to apply to the Supreme Court for annulment of a temporary injunction holding up the Palestinian evacuation. The Palestinians claim Israel’s presence in E1 divides the West Bank in two parts. Israel says it leaves a wide enough corridor to link them.
