'Blurring the green line': Israel advances plan to expand boundary into West Bank

Israel has advanced plans for a new settlement that would effectively expand Jerusalem’s municipal boundaries into the occupied West Bank. According to the anti-settlement group Peace Now, this move represents a form of de facto annexation, blurring the 1967 Green Line boundary. The project is presented as a new neighborhood of the Adam settlement but would have no physical connection, instead extending from East Jerusalem. If implemented, it would be the first time since 1967 that Israel has formally expanded its boundaries deeper into West Bank territory, a move critics warn will exacerbate tensions.
