Bypassing the Freeze - "Fake Foundations" in the settlements
30/11/2009

In order to bypass the settlement freeze, dozens of "Fake Foundations" were established in the settlements in recent days. According to the freeze order that was issued following the government declaration, it is forbidden to start any new construction unless the foundations were already laid before the freeze order was issued. Peace Now's Settlement Watch team found in recent days that the settlers lay cement on the ground at a shape of a floor so that it would look like a foundation in an aerial photo.
 
In recent months the settlers were "running for the foundations" and we saw many new construction starts. Apparently some of those who did not manage to lay the foundation before the order was issued, decided to try to deceive the authorities with fake foundations.
Peace Now found those "Fake Foundations" in the settlements of: Nerya (Talmon B), Adam (Geva Binyamin), Ela'azar, Modi'in Illit and Na'ale.
