"Approval of construction plans in E1 buries the idea of a Palestinian state and continues the many steps we are taking on the ground as part of the de facto sovereignty plan that we began implementing with the establishment of the government," Smotrich said.

Despite Smotrich's announcement, there still has been no official confirmation regarding the approval of the plan, as other housing projects, that have been heavily launched in the past, have been seen to be delayed for years.

But the hearing for final approval of the plan has already been set for this Wednesday.

“After decades of international pressure and freezes, we are breaking conventions and connecting Ma’ale Adumim to Jerusalem. This is Zionism at its best — building, settling, and strengthening our sovereignty in the Land of Israel,” Smotrich said in a statement.

I saw this, and it sounds good. It puts a "fire break" in between Jerusalem and the "west bank" aka Judea and Samaria. It's connected to Jerusalem, and provides a corridor for safe passage for the Jews there.
