| Will separation wall be new Israel-Palestine border? | | Daoud Kuttab -
Al-Monitor
"...whether the Israeli security wall, which Israel has regularly insisted was not the border between Israel and Palestine, is quickly becoming just that. A recent article by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak called on his government to unilaterally withdraw from the West Bank, alluding to the Israeli-built security wall becoming the new border.While the people of al-Ram breathed a sigh of relief when they saw criminals harassing them being picked up, some are wondering if this is the beginning of a long-term policy shift to allow Palestinian police to play a more prominent role in some Area C communities." ca

| The first time I saw a settlement from behind its walls | | Nadya Raja Tannous -
Mondoweiss
"Beauty is often a shallow descriptor and it can easily turn to ugliness if it is cultivated by greed. The colorful flowers were bright in the late sun but they were not beautiful. The recreational park, the olympic-sized swimming pools, and the ornamental pond looked hideous in the middle of the brown desert even as they glistened in the light rays. The olive trees looked lonely and oddly contained in their prim roundabouts and, as the tall blocks of Palestinian homes with their black water barrels and beige rooftops came closer into view, I saw that there is nothing beautiful about Occupation, even on the surface; even if it looks clean, it is ultimately covered in grime." ca | 8/11/2013 |

"The Palestinians` nonappearance at the ballot box sends a powerful message to negotiators, who have stepped up their talks, according to US Secretary of State John Kerry. Apparently three out of the 13 face-to-face meetings held in secret by Palestinian and Israeli negotiators took place in the past week. The ongoing talks are meant to deal with all outstanding issues, including the status of Jerusalem. No leak or commentary has mentioned any discussions yet on the holy city or its future. Most of the leaks from the talks have focused on the status of the eastern borders of the future Palestinian state." ca
