A general view of the "E1" settlement area, situated between Jerusalem and the Israeli West Bank on December 9, 2012 in Maale Adumim, West Bank. Israel has approved the building of 3,000 settler homes on the patch of land; a development that has been on hold for years due to pressure from the US and EU. Should the construction go ahead it would close off East Jerusalem from the West Bank.
