Gaza Farmers Get €3.7m Support Package from EU | | IMEMC - a new European Union contribution of €3.7 million targets
178 additional farmers and agro-businesses in the Gaza Strip to
relaunch, repair or replace damaged businesses. It covers wide
range of activities including the acquisition of agricultural
supplies, rehabilitation of land and other small infrastructure
works. In particular, the Palestinian Authority will rehabilitate 22
water wells, to irrigate about 2800 dunams, supply 15 agricultural
tractors, provide 118 livestock farms, including 2,600 heads of
livestock, and construct 37 greenhouses units. This brings the total
number of beneficiaries of the programme, to date, to 259 farmers.
The money is transferred via the The Palestinian Authority’s
programme, “Private Sector Reconstruction Gaza – Agriculture”.
[Unlike in other cases, this was not affected by the Palestinian
Authority`s sanctions imposed as part of the ongoing Fatah-Hamas
rift. [ak] | 30/4/2019 |

The world had decades to stop annexation. Just ask Palestinians | | Hagai El-Ad -
+972
"On the eve of Israel’s recent elections, Prime Minister Netanyahu
made a campaign promise to annex parts of the West Bank, which was
followed by a flood of impassioned international appeals. One cannot
help but wonder about the gap between all the fuss about a potential
future statement on de jure annexation and decades of inaction in
response to unilateral Israeli steps, which have already established
a reality of de facto annexation." ca | 27/4/2019 |

On 56th Friday of Great March of Return and Breaking Siege, Israeli Forces Wound 110 Civilians, including 37 Children, 3 Women, 4 Paramedics, and Journalist | | PCHR -
IMEMC
"According to observations by PCHR’s fieldworkers, the Israeli
forces who stationed in prone positions and in military jeeps along
the fence with Israel continued to use excessive force against the
protesters by firing bullets and tear gas canisters at them. As a
result, dozens of the protesters were hit with bullets and teargas
canisters without posing any imminent threat or danger to the life
of soldiers." ca | 27/4/2019 |

Israel bars hundreds of Palestinian Christians from traveling on Easter | | Henriette Chacar - +972 - In an unprecedented decision, Israeli authorities are
denying hundreds of Palestinian Christians the right to travel to Jerusalem for the
holiday, while barring all movement between the West Bank and Gaza [ry] | 22/4/2019 |

into extended 15-nautical mile fishing zone, while harassment by Israeli gunboats
continues [ry]

Azzun village sealed off by Israeli forces for 19th day | | Ma’an News Agency - "Israeli forces sealed off the village`s main entrance with
large cement blocks 19 days ago, preventing passage in both directions and
forcing Palestinian residents to take a different route to reach other districts" [ry] | 15/4/2019 |

Israeli troops shoot live gunfire toward farmers and fishers in Gaza | | Celine Hagbard - IMEMCnews - “When the soldiers saw farmers working their
lands east of Khan Younis, they began firing, forcing the farmers to leave their
land. In northern Gaza, […] Palestinian fishing boats which were within the
allowed ‘nautical security zone’ established by Israel were fired upon by Israeli
naval ships. […] The fishers who were targeted were only 2 nautical miles off
the coast of Gaza” [ry] | 8/4/2019 |

The violence of “relative calm” | | Maureen Clare Murphy - EI - “Thus ‘relative calm’ reigns over the West Bank and
Gaza Strip as Israel’s military occupation approaches its 52nd year. ‘Relative
calm’ – the meaninglessness is baked into the phrase – being that Palestinians
are still deprived of their basic rights, which are treated as subject to negotiation
even by the UN. Those deprived rights include Palestinians’ very right to life” [ry] | 8/4/2019 |

Confusing situation for Gaza fishermen | | IMEMC - According to reports of the ceasefire agreement reached
between the Israeli government and Hamas, Israel has expanded the
permitted fishing zone from six to 15 nautical miles, for the first
time in years, with the purpose of boosting a Gazan economy that is
heavily reliant on the fishing sector. It is not clear, however,
whether the new policy is implemented in practice by the Israeli
Navy ships constantly patrolling the Gazan waters. Israeli navy
ships attacked, on Tuesday at noon, several Palestinian fishing
boats in the Central District of the besieged and impoverished Gaza
Strip. The head of the Palestinian Fishermen Union in Gaza, Zakariya
Bakr, said that Israeli Navy chased several fishing boats less than
twelve nautical miles from the shore - i.e., well withing the new
permitted zone. The navy sprayed the Gazan boats with waste-water
mixed with chemicals. [ak]
