  • Rapport Des Chefs De Mission Diplomatiques De L'union
    Rapport des Chefs de Mission Diplomatiques de l’Union Européenne sur Jérusalem 2017 Note de synthèse Les Chefs de Mission à Jérusalem et à Ramallah soumettent par le présent document au Comité Politique et de Sécurité le rapport sur Jérusalem pour 2017 (annexe 1) et une série de recommandations pour discussion pour renforcer la politique de l’Union Européenne sur Jérusalem Est (Annexe 2). L’annexe 3 contient des faits supplémentaires et des chiffres sur Jérusalem. Les développements intervenus en 2017 ont encore accéléré les difficultés de la solution « des deux Etats » en l’absence de processus de paix significatif. Les tendances précédentes, observées et décrites par les Chefs de Mission Diplomatiques depuis plusieurs années, se sont empirées. La mise à l’écart des Palestiniens de la vie ordinaire, politique, économique et sociale de la ville sont largement inchangées. Le développement d’un nombre record de plans de colonisation s’est poursuivi, y compris dans des zones identifiées par l’Union Européenne et ses Etats membres comme clés pour une solution « des deux Etats ». En même temps, les démolitions de logements palestiniens se sont poursuivies, et plusieurs familles palestiniennes ont été expulsées de leurs logements au bénéfice de colons. Les tensions autour du Dôme du Rocher / Mont du Temple continuent. Au cours de cette année, plusieurs projets de lois à la Knesset ont poursuivi leur avancée législative, qui, s’ils étaient adoptés, apporteraient des changements unilatéraux au statut et aux frontières de Jérusalem, en violation du droit international. En fin d’année, les Etats Unis ont annoncé leur reconnaissance de Jérusalem comme capitale d’Israël.

    Kristin McCarthy <[email protected]> Insiders' Jerusalem - Urgent. Givat Hamatos tenders to be published. 1 message Daniel Seidemann <[email protected]> Tue, Nov 10, 2020 at 5:30 PM Reply-To: Daniel Seidemann <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Insiders' Jerusalem November 11, 2020 Urgent: Givat Hamatos tenders about to be published Dear Friends, In recent hours, our friends at Peace Now have learned from a highly reliable Israeli government official that the publication of the tender booklet/terms will take place by the end of this week. As many of you know, Givat Hamatos has long been considered a "doomsday" settlement, having major strategic ramifications on the very possibility of any future political agreement, and this publication will bring the scheme to the brink of implementation. The next 24 hours may prove to be critical to deter the Israeli government to proceed with the publication. Our detailed analysis of Givat Hamatos that we published on February 29, 2020 appears below. This is a brief summary of the current acute situation. 1. For decades, there has been a broad consensus in the international community that two Israeli settlement schemes - Givat Hamatos and E-1 - would have a devastating impact on any future political agreements (see the enclosed map). Throughout much of this period, there has been a coherent, focused and sustained international effort, cautioning Israel that this would meet broad and resolute international opposition. Those efforts have, until now, succeeded, and no Israeli Prime Minister, including Netanyahu, has dared take major steps towards implementation. 2. This began to change last February when Netanyahu, fighting for his political life, took steps towards implementation.
