Israeli authorities have notified Bedouin representatives and the municipality of al-Eizariya about plans to implement the controversial “Life Fabric” settlement project, aimed at connecting Maale Adumim to Jerusalem and potentially isolating Palestinian communities.

The project, first approved in 2012, has advanced amid ongoing violence and has been criticized by the International Court of Justice as illegal.
