Building in E1 or Business with Europe!

International Crisis Group Statement: Israeli Actors Should Face a Choice
Mit einer anschaulichen interaktiven Karte zu E1

Israel’s new settlement construction plans threaten to split the occupied West Bank, poking a finger in the eye of those who support Palestinian statehood. With the Trump administration largely keeping mum, responsibility to try stopping this project falls most heavily on European governments.

E1 – Was steht dahinter?

Linda Dayan in Haaretz über die Hintergründe…

Israel’s far-right government is advancing construction in the contentious E1 area between Jerusalem and Ma’aleh Adumim, issuing tenders for 1,200 new housing units despite decades of international opposition. Critics warn the move could divide the West Bank, sever East Jerusalem from Palestinian territory, undermine prospects for a Palestinian state and risk mass Palestinian displacement. With contracts imminent, it could soon become irreversible.

Wie geht es weiter in Gaza?

Hollow Promises: Resetting Gaza’s Ceasefire / Eine Analyse der International Crisis Group:

A July roadmap sponsored by the Board of Peace has failed to overcome obstacles that have mired Gaza’s ceasefire deal ten months on. A mix of sustained pressure and diplomatic guarantees is needed to break the logjam and centre Palestinian agency in the strip’s recovery.

Who Rebuilds Gaza?

Indigenous Reconstruction and Resistance

Nour Joudah und Dena Qaddumi auf der Seite von Al-Shabaka

Introduction

After Hamas’s recent announcement that it will hand over governing authority in Gaza to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), urgent questions about who will shape Gaza’s future and on whose terms have reemerged. These questions are particularly salient given that the NCAG’s framework reflects the same technocratic and externally imposed logic that has come to characterize the dominant international proposal for Gaza’s reconstruction: one that treats it as a technical exercise in disaster management, sidelining Palestinian sovereignty, return, and self-determination.

In contrast, this roundtable asks what it means to understand Gaza as an Indigenous region rather than simply a besieged strip or humanitarian space. Nour Joudah and Dena Qaddumi explore how Indigenous frameworks reshape prevailing understandings of urbanism, reconstruction, and governance; why reconstruction must begin with Palestinian agency and reclamation rather than externally designed colonial master plans; and how rebuilding is already taking place through everyday forms of Indigenous endurance, social organization, and spatial resistance under conditions of ongoing genocide. 

This roundtable is adapted from a conversation recorded on May 21, 2026. It has been edited for publication.

Standing up to Settler Violence

NIF – Voices from the West Bank:

Monday, July 20, 2026 – 12 PM ET | 11 AM CT | 9 AM PT

Virtual—Zoom link provided upon Registration

Settler violence against Palestinian communities in the West Bank is exploding, but our partners on the ground are pushing back and scaling up efforts to fight creeping annexation. Join us to hear from those who are working on the ground to coordinate protective presence activism and to stand with those whose lives have been turned upside down by recent attacks. In conversation with NIF’s Director of National Programs, Hillel Assaf, activists will share what they’ve witnessed, what they’ve learned from their Palestinian partners, and how you can support this crucial work.
