61. 在本报告所述期间，新建和现有定居点加速推进，宣布的招标数也在增加，而定居点住房开工率有所下降。东耶路撒冷和包括 E1 在内的周边地区定居点计划特别令人关切，因为这些计划将使东耶路撒冷与西岸其他地区隔断，并有可能割裂西岸的毗连性。
61. During the reporting period, advancements of new and existing settlements increased, as did the number of tenders announced, while the rate of settlement housing construction starts decreased. The plans for settlements in East Jerusalem and surrounding areas, including in E1, are of particular concern as they would isolate East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank and threaten to fragment the contiguity of the West Bank.
