PALESTINIAN-ISRAEL-CONFLICT

A general view shows an "outpost" named Bab al-Shams ("Gate of the Sun") set up by Palestinian activists between Jerusalem and the Jewish settlement of Maale Adumim in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, in an area Israel said it would build thousands of new settler homes, on January 11, 2013. Six weeks ago, Israel announced plans to build thousands of settler homes in the largely uninhabited E1 area, in a move which sparked a global outcry. E1 falls within Area C of the West Bank which is under full Israeli civilian and security control and where Palestinians find it almost impossible to obtain building permits.
