TEL AVIV, August 17, 2009 (WAFA)- House trailers are playing a major role as West Bank colonizers try to create facts on the ground before the United States and Israel reach any decision on a construction freeze in the colonies. In recent months, settlers have been trying to assemble trailers quickly, the Israeli daily Haaretz said Monday .

After the release of the 2005 Sasson Report on illegal outposts, the Israeli Civil Administration in the West Bank has been limiting the movements of house trailers around the Palestinian territory. To circumvent the restrictions, trailer parts are being moved to the colonies and put together on site on pre-prepared lots. Efforts by Israeli left-wing organizations and human rights groups to impede the construction have failed.

In early July, Haaretz reported on such preparations for 10 trailers in the colonies of Eli. A little more than a month after initial work at the location, most of the trailers have been built and appear to be ready to accommodate residents shortly.

Construction of 12 trailers on private Palestinian land has begun near colony of Kochav Yaakov near Ramallah. The rights group Yesh Din filed a petition to the Israeli High Court last week to halt the construction, and a hearing on the case is expected shortly.
