The opening as it read in 2010
E1 , also named "Mevasseret Adumim" ("Harbinger of Ma'ale Adumim," similar to Mevasseret Zion just outside Jerusalem), is a mostly empty area of 12 square kilometres (4.6 sq mi) in Ma'ale Adumim . It is bordered by the French Hill neighborhood of Jerusalem to the west, Abu Dis to the southwest, Kedar to the south, Ma'ale Adumim to the east, and Almon to the north. In March, 2009, Israel's Haaretz newspaper - quoting Israel Army Radio - reported that Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu had struck a secret deal with Yisrael Beiteinu party leader Avigdor Lieberman to build 3,000 new homes for Israeli settlers in E1. The headquarters of the Samaria and Judea district of the Israeli Police Department are built in E1, scheduled to be operational in January or February 2008.1
