From Gaza.....Women Push for Change | | Saphia Abou-amer - MIFTAH - Besides the slow social changes taking place in Gaza, women also have a number of institutions and centers to fall back on for support. The Women’s Affairs Center is located in Al-Remal district of Gaza City. The center not only offers support, guidance and advise to women but it is also run entirely by them. I managed a chat with the center’s director Amal Siyam in order to better understand the system of women’s social networking in Gaza. | 19/5/2011 |

Landmines of reconciliation | | Saleh Al-Naami -
Al-Ahram Weekly
""All these issues could be compounded if agreement is not reached regarding unifying the security apparatus until after elections.

Al-Masri argued that the situation "requires a plan, even a gradual one, to integrate and rebuild security agencies. While delaying the step could circumvent an immediate explosive situation, the landmine could detonate at any moment." ca

UN special rapporteur on torture to address Nabi Saleh trial | | Joseph Dana -
972 magazine
"14 year-old Islam Tamimi was arrested on January 23 by a large group of soldiers who stormed his family’s home in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh in the middle of the night. He was taken from his bed at gunpoint, beaten up by the soldiers who arrested him and denied sleep. His arrest, only a week after a previous military night time raid on his house, is in line with a common Israeli tactic of callously arresting minors in order to use their confessions against many others in the quest to suppress unarmed anti-occupation demonstrations." ca | 13/5/2011 |

There are few internationals in the West Bank at the time and we are working together in an attempt to cover the many needs of Palestinian villages under attack from settlers and the Israeli Occupation Forces.

Their team, being only 2 on the ground at the time, has had to leave Palestine. | 8/5/2011 |
