Akevot, an Israeli NGO researching the conflict, has spent thousands of hours over two years gaining access to declassified, often dog-eared, documents and building a digital record of them. “One of the things we realized early on was that so many of the policies related to current day Israeli government activities in the occupied territories have roots going back to the very first year of occupation,” said Lior Yavne, founder and director of Akevot.

“[For the Saudis], the occupation is a hidden treasure. Every time the Arabs rise up against their corrupt regimes, they will be reminded that holy Jerusalem is still suffocating under the boot of the Zionist occupier, and that the first duty of every Arab is to liberate Jerusalem, rather than to rebel at home,” writes Odeh Bisharat.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) cabinet has decided to hold supplementary municipal elections in the Gaza Strip as well as in 66 West Bank councils where elections were not held on the regular election day earlier this month.

Jailed Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti said Tuesday the Palestinian prisoners’ strike had not ended, but had rather been put on hold and could be resumed at any time should Israel not live up to its “promises.”

Israeli energy minister Yuval Steinitz argued that Israel should not be drawn into an internal Palestinian problem, a decision that also effectively shields Hamas, Israel’s enemy, against Abbas.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not meet with foreign leaders who meet with organizations “working against Israeli soldiers,” he told Likud lawmakers on Monday.
