Palestinian envoy says Washington mission given a month to pack up | | The Times of Israel - Stating "The PLO has not taken steps to
advance the start of direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel…
To the contrary, PLO leadership has condemned a US peace plan they
have not yet seen", the Trump administration gave Palestinian
Delegation staffers a month to pack up. Palestinian Envoy Husam
Zomlot responded: "We lost the US administration but we gained our
national rights. The delegation closure would not deter Palestinians
from seeking a state with East Jerusalem as the capital" and in
Ramallah President Abbas`s Spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh stated
that "core issues of the conflict, including the status of Jerusalem
and Palestinian refugees, are more important than the relationship
with the United States.” In practice, the Palestinian Delegation in
Washington will likely revert to being a private institution staffed
by American Palestinians and with no official diplomatic status - as
it was before the US recognized the PLO. [ak] | 11/9/2018 |

European countries warn against demolishing West Bank village | | AP - Ynet - As part of interim peace deals in the 1990s, the West Bank was carved up into autonomous and semi-autonomous Palestinian areas, known as Areas A and B, and Area C, which is home to some 400,000 Israeli settlers.
The Palestinians say that Area C, home to an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 Palestinians, is crucial to the economic development of their future state.
Israel says the structures that make up the Khan al-Ahmar encampment, which include an Italian-funded school, pose a threat to residents because of their proximity to a highway. But critics have dismissed this claim as a ploy to remove the village`s 180 or so residents to clear the way for new Jewish settlements.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights` office has called on Israel to abandon its plans and said the destruction of private property by an occupying power violates international law. [bz] | 11/9/2018 |
