Peace Now has learnt that presently a new outpost is being established. The outpost is located beyond the fence
surrounding Adam settlement (aka Geva Binyamin), southeast from Ramallah and beyond the Separation Barrier.
This is the first outpost that is being established since the Israeli government declared a new policy towards
settlement construction. The policy stated that settlement construction would be limited to within the “built up
area” or "the footprint" of a settlement and that creation of new illegal outposts would be prohibited. Needless
to say is that by being constructed outside the fence of Adam, the new outpost is not only a new outpost, but
also beyond the “built up area” of the settlement, regardless of the lack in a clear definition to what “built up area” means.
