New construction in Givat Ze'ev
Settlement Freeze? Before and after Annapolis - new caravans in the settlement of Eli
Reports
The Death of the Settlement Freeze - 4 Months Since Annapolis - March 2008
Hagit Ofran

• In 101 settlements construction took place. Over 500 buildings are currently being built in the settlements, in each of them several housing units (East Jerusalem excluded).
• Approx. 275 new buildings have started to be constructed. 20% of the construction is taking place in settlements east of the Separation Fence.
• In parallel, construction continued in all of the construction sites that already existed before Annapolis, included at least 220 buildings in 37 settlements.
• Mobile Structures (Caravans) - in some of the settlements, particularly east of the fence, new caravan neighborhoods have been established, using the "Lego System" so that construction is faster and cheaper, without a construction permits or approved planning.  At least 184 new caravans were brought and installed in the settlements, some 150 of them (82%) in settlements located east of the fence such as, Eli, Dolev, Psagot, Ofra, Kochav Ha’shachar, Yitzhar, etc.
Approval of new construction plans – the Minister of Defense has approved several plans for construction. A total of (at least) 946 housing units
• A new city in the Territories – Modi’in Illit - At the beginning of March the Minister of the Interior approved the turning of the Modi’in Illit Local Council into a City. 

Construction in East Jerusalem
Since the Annapolis summit there was a leap in the number of tenders and construction plans in East Jerusalem. Tenders for the construction of at least 750 housing units in East Jerusalem were issued between December 2007 and March 2008, while throughout all 2007 until the summit, only two tenders for 46 housing units were issued.

Construction in "illegal outposts"
• In 58 outposts there was construction or development.
• At least 16 new permanent structures have been constructed in seven different outposts, and construction on eight more structure continued.
• At least 38 new mobile structures have been added in outposts
• 53 structures in the outposts were expanded
• No outposts were evacuated – the Government's declaration on evacuation of two outposts in 17/3/08 seems to be a little misleading. One of the "outposts" was a single broken caravan, and the other was never evacuated.
