Palestinian shot and killed after stabbing Israeli

Israel captured all three areas in the 1967 Mideast war. Much of the findings in the Haaretz investigation come from analyzing these documents, as well as reports filed with Israeli authorities by local non-profits that support the settlements and received funds from their US counterparts.

It was the latest in more than two months of Palestinian knife, gun and car-ramming attacks. Near-daily Palestinian attacks, mostly stabbings, have killed 19 Israelis, while more than 108 Palestinians have been killed.

The attack occurred around a border police post near the Tomb of the Patriarchs, known to Muslims as the Ibrahimi Mosque.

He said the Israeli campaign includes traditional advertising, partnerships with Russian tour operators and bringing Russian celebrities to Israel to “spread the word”.

Many of them have been young people, including teenagers, reflecting anger and lost hope over Israel’s occupation, the Palestinians’ fractured leadership and the complete lack of progress in peace efforts, analysts say. They say the continued expansion of Jewish settlements on captured lands proves that Israel does not want peace.

The top U.S. diplomat also hit out at the building of settlements by Israel on land Palestinians see as part of their future state.

Donald Trump evaded specific questions about whether Palestinian demands in peace negotiations are legitimate and whether Israel should be allowed to build settlements in the West Bank without restrictions, though he said the Israeli housing projects were a “huge sticking point” in talks.

The Haaretz investigation found that some of the money sent by American donors has gone toward providing legal aid to extremist Jews through an Israeli group called Honenu.
