European Union grants 11.8 million Euros to help protect the Palestinian identity of East JerusalemNGO Monitor - According to the latest European Union Financial Transparency System report, in 2019 the EU authorized seven grants with a total sum of 11.8 million Euros to NGO projects In East Jerusalem. All are part of the EU’s "strategic approach" addressing the “urgent need to preserve the Palestinian identity of East Jerusalem, sustain the presence of the Palestinian population and prioritize the protection of Palestinian heritage, based on the restoration of historical sites in the Old City and the promotion of cultural life and activities in EJ.” One EU-supported NGO project specifically seeks to “protect Islamic and Christian Waqf religious and cultural heritage properties against Israeli violations and threats.” [Note: "NGO Monitor" is a right-wing research organization, strongly opposed to such EU projects and considering them as "increasing tensions" and even "promoting terrorism". Still, these painstakingly compiled data are of interest also to those thinking otherwise. AK]. 25/8/2020

Palestinian killed after a stabbing attack near the the al-Aqsa Mosque IMEMC / Y-Net - Ashraf Halasa, a 30-year old Palestinian from the town of Sawahra ash-Sharqiya, was shot and killed near a gate of the al-Aqsa Mosque in the Old City of Jerusalem, after pulling a knife and trying to stab an officer of the Israeli "Border Guard" riot police. The essential facts of the event were repeated in both the Israeli and the Palestinian media, but with considerable difference in emphasis. The Palestinians note that Halasa was hit by a barrage of Israeli bullets, that he bled to death, denied medical treatment, while Israeli medics tended to the officer`s moderate injury, and that the army later detained Halasa`s mother, and two of his brothers. Conversely, Israeli reports focused on the officer being stabbed, assured the public that the officer was "in moderate condition, stable and fully conscious" and noted that "the quick and determined response resulted in the threat being neutralized within seconds". Only causally was it mentioned that "neutralized" meant "killed". [ak]18/8/2020
