Palestinian Prisoner on Hunger Strike Slips into Coma

Before it was cut off, the water supplied some 4,000 people in the West Bank.

The Israeli government has made a proposal to the Palestinian Authority that could enable the opening of a 3G mobile network in the occupied West Bank.

Hinting that the fault was Israel’s for failing to provide sufficient legal paths to ensure housing for Palestinians, the EU wrote in its response that “to date only a handful of the proposed [housing] plans have been approved”.

Shejaiya players visited Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque, Islam’s third-holiest site, after crossing the border.

“In the moment before you send that cutting article, share that vitriolic post, before carrying out an on-line lynch – consider for a moment, on the other side is a human being”, Mr Rivlin said at a memorial service for a former deputy police commissioner, who committed suicide after a public smear campaign. Scores of Palestinian inmates have held rounds of hunger strikes over recent years and, with many prisoners hospitalized, their failing health has caused tensions to flare among Palestinians.

But the matches were being seen as symbolic victories over the bitter political divisions and the blockade.

No one has been charged in these cases, according to B’Tselem. Pro-Israeli critics run interference for Tel Aviv, insisting that the PLO, headed by Mahmoud Abbas, has declined perfectly reasonable negotiating offers and that Israel would be very happy to have someone take Palestine off its hands, if only it could receive security in return.

But he has assured the European officials, Shir-On said, that they will be notified before any demolition occurs.

He had been left with second-degree burns over more than 80 percent of his body following the late July firebombing, which killed his son.

Israel’s safety cupboard issued a press release Sunday night time saying it had directed the safety businesses “to take all mandatory steps to apprehend these accountable and stop comparable acts”.

The murder of Ali Dawabsheh should thus be regarded within the context of Israeli society where Palestinian babies are routinely called a “demographic threat”, and where many Israelis ecstatically rejoice their slaughter.

“We have now to look to be neighbours in a great way and to consider that the trail to peace is the proper one”, stated Ziad Zabateen, a Palestinian from Bethlehem.
