FMEP President Matt Duss talks with Politini’s Danielle Moodie-Mills and ThinkProgress’s Jack Jenkins about the future of the Israel-Palestine conflict.

The Israeli Ministry of Housing is working on plans for 55,548 units in West Bank settlements, in different phases of planning

Settlers intended to establish an archaeological and tourism park on the site, which has been excavated by Israel Antiquities Authority and Ariel University over past two years.

Placing consumer labels on products from West Bank settlements is the equivalent of boycotting Israel, Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely said on Tuesday before she embarked on a trip to European capitals to wage a diplomatic war against the selective singling out of such exports.

Products produced over the pre-1967 lines are not “made in Israel” and cannot be labeled that way, European Union Ambassador to Israel Lars Faaborg-Andersen said on Tuesday.

The level of frustration and anger among the Palestinian public, expressed in the disappointment with the PA’s functioning and the desire to confront Israel, remains high.

“The Center for American Progress should use its controversial decision to host the Israeli prime minister to confront his core beliefs,” writes Peter Beinart.

The High Court of Justice would no longer be able to overturn a decision by the Central Elections Committee to disqualify a party or a particular candidate from running, according to a bill proposed Tuesday by Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman.
