40. 在 2020 年 3 月以色列大选前的几周，以及在美国公布“和平走向繁荣”愿景后，以色列政府加速推进或宣布打算推进在东耶路撒冷及其周围建造数千个定居点住房单元。这些单元建成后，将进一步巩固东耶路撒冷环线定居点，从而将东耶路撒冷与西岸的其他地区隔开。这将进一步限制居住在东耶路撒冷的巴勒斯坦人的行动自由，对其他权利产生负面影响，增加附近巴勒斯坦社区的迫迁风险，严重阻碍巴勒斯坦人民行使自决权，并破坏建立毗连巴勒斯坦国的可能性。
40. In the weeks leading up to the March 2020 Israeli election, and following the publication of the United States “Peace to prosperity” vision, the Government of Israel advanced or announced its intention to advance thousands of settlement housing units in and around East Jerusalem. If construction is realized, these plans would further consolidate the ring of settlements around East Jerusalem, severing it from the rest of the West Bank. This would further restrict the freedom of movement of Palestinians living in East Jerusalem, negatively impact other rights, increase the risk of forcible transfer for nearby Palestinian communities and seriously impede the exercise by the Palestinian people of the right to self-determination and undermine the possibility of a contiguous Palestinian State.
