Peace Now has reacted to the issuing of bids for 805 housing units beyond the 1949 Armistice Line in the northern Jerusalem neighborhoods of Pisgat Ze'ev and Ramot by saying, "As long as we have not reached a permanent agreement with the Palestinians on Israel’s borders, building beyond the Green Line is illegitimate and only harms the prospects for peace and trust between the sides."
Peace Now noted, "There is still potential for several thousand housing units, mainly in Gilo and Har Homa, but the main planning is currently increasing density and adding housing units in the existing areas. It should be noted that since 2014, when tenders were issued for 2,240 housing units in East Jerusalem, the number of housing units published in the East Jerusalem tender did not exceed 603 housing units."
