On October, 2014, Israeli Ministry of Housing led by Ouri Arael allocated the sum of 850,000 Shekels for infrastructure (such as road building and other works) to the east of Ifrat settlement, a step of a plan to expand the settlement closer to the city of Bethlehem.
Haaretz newspaper said on Monday that the new old plan of expanding the settlement was a result of settlers pressure since 10 years to take over this area which they called “Eteem”.
