The exam of the events that brought about the creation of the first nucleus of the settlement of Ma’ale Adumim (1975) challenge some of the widespread stereotypes on Israel’s settlement policy in the West Bank, as well as the conventional wisdom emerging from most scholarly contributions on the theme. The history of Ma’ale Adumim demonstrates how the proliferation of the settlements was the product of active cooperation between sectors of the Israeli Labour party, the Likud and the settlers movement, and eased by the existence of a broad consensus on the creation of large suburban settlements in the periphery of Jerusalem.
