US President Joe Biden visited Israel on July 13, 2022 — the same day Jerusalem reported to the High Court of Justice on its plans to evict the West Bank Bedouin village of Khan al-Ahmar. On July 18, 2022, Israel’s Civil Administration held a hearing on a controversial 3,414-unit housing plan for the E1 section of the nearby Ma’ale Adumim community.
The tour focused on the E1 plan and its implications for Israelis and Palestinians.
