Between determination and despair: Meet the refugees fighting deportation | | Joshua Leifer - +972 - The start of the new year marked the first
stages of the Israeli government’s plan to deport the roughly 40,000
asylum seekers, most from Eritrea and Sudan, currently living in
Israel. The government announced in early January that asylum seekers
have three months to leave the country; those who remain in Israel
after the three months will face a choice: deportation or prison.-rh | 24/1/2018 |

Why is the Israeli army suddenly concerned about Gaza? | | Jonathan Cook - For the first time last week Israeli military
officials echoed what the United Nations has been saying for some
time: that Gaza’s economy and infrastructure stand on the brink of
collapse. After a decade of this horrifying experiment in human
endurance, the Israeli army finally appears to be concerned about
whether Gaza can cope much longer.-rh | 24/1/2018 |

Over 7,000 people collectively punished: Israel imposes harsh restrictions on access to village of Hizma | | B`TSELEM - For more than a week, the Israeli military has been
severely restricting access into and out of the Palestinian village of
Hizma in the West Bank, apparently in response to stone-throwing along
a nearby road. Soldiers have been deployed at all entrances to the
village, and physical roadblocks have been put in place barring
vehicular access. At various points during this time, only registered
residents of the village were allowed in, and men under 40 were not
allowed out.-rh | 24/1/2018 |

Israeli Security Pays Price for Settlements | | Molad the center for the renewal of Israeli democracy - The greatest
challenge to Israel’s security is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Inasmuch as the conflict revolves around land, it is inextricably
intertwined with the settlements in the West Bank. Yet for many years,
Israel has lacked responsible public debate over the settlements’
impact on national security. Molad’s new study analyses this issue in
depth, based on facts, figures and input from Israel’s top defense
experts.-rh

Dispossession in the northern Jordan Valley: New settlement outposts as part of the land grab process | | B`Tselem - “The establishment of these settlement outposts and the violence
perpetrated by their residents against local Palestinians do not take place in a
vacuum. They form an inseparable part of Israel’s policy in the Jordan Valley
ever since 1967, which includes a variety of official and unofficial measures
designed to minimize Palestinian presence in the area and further establish
Israeli control of it” [ry] | 22/1/2018 |

Abbas: US is no longer suitable mediator of peace process | | Ma"an News Agency -
"Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas delivered a speech on Wednesday
at the Al-Azhar International Conference in Support of Jerusalem in
Cairo, saying that the Palestinians “still adhere to peace and will
use all the available options, but not violence or terrorism.”
Official Palestinian Authority (PA)-owned Wafa news agency quoted
Abbas as saying that US President Donald Trump’s administration
could not be trusted, and “is no longer suitable for the role of
mediator of the peace process." ca | 19/1/2018 |

it easier for judges to hand out the death penalty for "terrorist
activity" has been condemned as "fascist" by Palestinian politicians
and rights groups, who fear it will give Israel legal cover to target
Palestinians.-rh

Palestinian leadership faces monumental decisions | | Daoud Kuttab - Al-Monitor - The 80-plus members of the Palestinian
Central Council (PCC) who are expected to convene for a two-day
meeting Jan. 14 in Ramallah face potentially monumental choices. Yet,
on the eve of this crucial meeting, nothing resembling consensus can
be discerned. The choices range from dissolving the Palestinian
Authority (PA) to ending security cooperation with Israel to
withdrawing Palestinian recognition of Israel to the declaration of
Palestine as a state under occupation. Each choice has its advantages
and disadvantages, its supporters and opponents.-rh

Israel Will Hire Its Citizens to Capture and Assist in the Deportation of African Refugees (VIDEO) | | Palestine Chronicle - In an effort to resolve the ‘African Refugee
Problem’ in Israel, Israeli civilians will receive cash rewards and
generous bonuses if they sign up to serve their country as
‘immigration inspectors’, a position that includes monitoring,
rounding up and delivering people whom the government is referring to
as ‘infiltrators’ to the proper authorities for deportation.-rh | 17/1/2018 |

US withholds $65 million from UN agency for Palestinians | | Times of Israel Staff - Times of Israel - The United States sent $60
million to keep the UN relief agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) in
operation but withheld a further $65 million while it urged others to
pay more, a State Department official said Tuesday.-rh | 17/1/2018 |

2017: Tightening of the closure, further limiting movement of people to and from Gaza | | GISHA - The number of exits by Palestinians through Erez Crossing in 2017 dropped by 51 percent compared to 2016. The monthly average in 2017 was only 5,963 exits compared to a monthly average of 12,150 exits in 2016 and 14,276 exits in 2015. (...) What is clear is that these measures were introduced with little to no public discussion, with immediate effect and no prior notice (...) and, it appears, no consideration of the impact they would have on Gaza’s civilian population, which is already under great duress.

Israeli Chief of Staff hints at full-scale war against Syria | | Middle East Monitor - The Israeli Chief of Staff hinted yesterday at
the possibility of launching a full-scale war against Syria to prevent
the imposition of Shia hegemony in Israel’s neighbour. Lieutenant-
General Gadi Eisenkot made his comments at the University of Herzliya
and accused the Iranian government of working to form a “Shia
crescent” to spread its influence across Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen,
Bahrain and the Gaza Strip.“In recent months, investment in the
Palestinian arena has also grown,” explained Eisenkot, “driven by a
desire to influence it by increasing the annual funding in the Gaza
Strip for Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements to $100 million.”-rh | 10/1/2018 |

Palestine in Pictures: December 2017 | | EI - "Twelve Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces during the month of
December as Israel cracked down on protests against Donald Trump’s
proclamation that the US would recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital – a
move roundly condemned in a vote by the United Nations General Assembly"

This Land Is Our Land | | Raja Shehadeh - The New York Review of Books - In the course of the
1948 Arab–Israeli War, some 750,000 Palestinians fled the fighting or
were forced off their land. In 1950 Israel passed a law designating
those lands as “absentee” territory and through a series of other
legal measures reserved it for the use of the Jewish Israeli
population. But there remained heavy concentrations of land—in the
Galilee, the north of Israel, and the Negev in the south—that was
still owned by the Palestinians who stayed in Israel and became
Israeli citizens. In these areas, Palestinians still far outnumbered
Jewish Israelis in 1950. The new state was confronted with two
questions: how to “Judaize” those areas, and how to transfer most of
the land there to Jewish Israelis.-rh | 3/1/2018 |
