Israeli legal experts join Druze against Nationality Law Shlomi Eldar - Al-Monitor - The Druze do not have a political lobby to help them present an ultimatum to the prime minister to change the Nationality Law. An effort by Brig. Gen. (res.) Amal Asad, one of the leaders of the Druze protest against the law, failed to pressure various political parties to include an amendment to the Nationality Law on their platforms on the eve of the April 9 election. The only promise he received was from Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz, but it is doubtful that from his likely place in the opposition that Gantz can effect the commitment. Asad did not, however, despair.-rh 21/5/2019

Soldiers confiscate a... garbage truck IMEMC - Israeli soldiers confiscated, Tuesday, a garbage truck owned by the local council of Rojeeb village, east of Nablus. The soldiers stopped the truck near the dump area. They detained the driver and workers for a short while, and released them after confiscating the truck. No explanation was given, soldiers on the West Bank are under no obligation of explaining their acts to Palestinians (or to anyone). However, the confiscation took place near the Israeli settlement of Itamar, whose inhabitants are considered especially fanatic and violent and are known to be egging on the army to take steps against the Palestinians.

Palestinians reject US economic peace summit in Bahrain, say they won’t attendTimes of Israel - The White House announced a June 25-26 conference in Bahrain, focusing on economic aspects of the long-delayed peace plan, with the declared aim of "achieving Palestinian prosperity". Trump adviser Kushner did say that “Economic progress can only be achieved if the core political issues are resolved,” but did not state when the Trump Administration plans to unveil its position on these core political issues. Given a series of American acts blatantly supporting the Netanyahu positions, the Palestinians are apprehensive that these positions fall far short of an independent Palestinian state, and that the aim of the Baharein conference is to bribe them into giving up their national aspirations: “We were not consulted by any party on the announced meeting to take place in Bahrain. There will be no Palestinian participation. Any Palestinian who would take part would be nothing but a collaborator for the Americans and Israel.” Palestinian businessman Bashar al-Masri said he had been invited to the conference, but would not attend.“We will not work with any event outside the Palestinian national consensus,” he said on Facebook.[ak] 21/5/2019

Qatar brings Gaza beaches back to lifeRasha Abou Jalal - Al-Monitor - The Gaza Electricity Distribution Co., in cooperation with Gaza Strip municipalities, completed April 18 a Qatar-funded project designed to connect wastewater treatment plants to new power lines with the objective of supplying the plants with uninterrupted power around the clock, the company`s public relations director told Al-Monitor. The new project seeks to end pollution along the coast that untreated wastewater poured into the sea has caused since 2013, preventing the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip from going to the beach and swimming in the sea in the summer. The crisis came after the wastewater treatment plants stopped operating as power outages hit more than 12 hours a day before climaxing to 20 hours daily in May 2017.-rh 14/5/2019

Is leaked document Trump’s ‘deal of the century’?Jonathan Cook - Information Clearing House - A report published this week by the Israel Hayom newspaper apparently leaking details of Donald Trump’s “deal of the century” reads like the kind of peace plan that might be put together by an estate agent or car salesman. But while the authenticity of the document is unproven and indeed contested, there are serious grounds for believing it paves the direction of any future declaration by the Trump administration. Not least, it is a synthesis of most of the Israeli right’s ambitions for the creation of a Greater Israel, with a few sops to the Palestinians – most of them related to partially relieving Israel’s economic strangulation of the Palestinian economy.-rh14/5/2019
