The Hidden Agenda

Ma’ale Adummim and its establishment and its effect: The present report has two principal objectives. One, to describe the spatial changes that havetaken place in the area and their effect on Palestinians’ human rights; and two, to examine these changes in light of the historyof Ma’ale Adummim and the intentions behind its establishment.

Chapter 1 presents the history of Ma’ale Adummim and discusses the unique procedures employed to gain control of the land designated for it. Chapter 2 examines the city’s outline plans, especially the plans for the E1 area. Chapter 3 discusses the route of the Separation Barrier near Ma’ale Adummim. Chapter 4 describes the infringement on the human rights
of Palestinians resulting from the establishment of Ma’ale Adummim – harm that will undoubtedly increase if the development plans for E1 are fully implemented, creating a contiguous built-up area between Ma’ale Adummim and the municipal boundary of Jerusalem.
