(Signed) A. Esmat ABDEL MEGUID Ambassador Permanent Representative -31552 A/9862 - ' ' English Page 2 Annex Statement by the Palestine Liberation Organization on the situation in the occupied territories The masses of the Palestinian people in the occupied territories have been expressing their commitment and support for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) through accepted means and practices, s*uch as strikes and demonstrations. They have been expressing their support for the PLO as the sole and legitimate representative of the people of Palestine and as the authority which has been working diligently to put an end to the occupation. These expressions of support portray the solidarity of our people under Israeli occupation and coincide with the position taken by the PLO during the present session of the General Assembly. Yet the occupation authorities have used the most barbaric, oppressive and inhuman methods to combat these legitimate means of expression. Scores of civilians were wounded, scores were detained and some killed as a result of the utilization of tanks to disperse the demonstrators. A 16-year-old girl was the victim of such measures when she was run down by one of the Israeli tanks. The delegation of the PLO would like to bring to the attention of Member States the oppressive measures used against the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. These measures have been accelerated in cruelty and in severity as the popular resistance and support have increased. The Israeli occupation authorities during the past seven years have tried by every possible means at their disposal to suppress the Palestinian resistance. In doing so, it was violating the Charter of the United Nations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Geneva Conventions, a/ The delegation of the PLO feels that the deteriorating situation in the occupied territories and the suppress!ve measures used by the'occupying authorities demand an immediate and effective intervention from the United Nations to put an end to the outrageous and inhuman oppression of the Palestinian people. Our people, under the leadership of the PLO, through its popular bases and through the massive support of all segments of its population, have categorically expressed its rejection of occupation. This necessitates that the United Nations and the countries of the world should assume their responsibilities now to bring an immediate end to occupation. a/ United Nations, Treaty Series, vol. 75, Nos. 970-973. 19 November 1974 Dear Mr. Ambassador, Z would be grateful if you could forward the enclosed letter to tils Excellency Mr* Anwar El Sadat, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, A copy of this letter is also enclosed for your information. Please accept, Mr* Ambassador, the assurances of my highest consideration. Kurt Waldheira Hie Excellency Dr. Ahmed Esmat Abdel Meguid Permanent Representative of the Arab Republic of Egypt to the United Nations New York I I cc: SecGenu/ REG BEU AP BEU/MD 19 November 1974 Dear Mr, President, I have been following with great anxiety the mounting tension in the Middle East in recent days and have discussed the situation at length with Minister of State Anwar and with Ambassador Meguid. I have found my talks with theia most helpful and constructive. I am deeply concerned both at the difficulties encountered in making real progress towards a settlement of the basic problems of the Z-iiddle East and at the possibility that, if this progress is too long delayed, there will be a breakdown of the cease~fire. In the latter connexion I am particularly anxious that all the parties continue to co-operate with the United Nations and to support the peace-keeping mechanisms which ensure that the calm and the cease-fire that are essential to negotiations are preserved. Although I can well understand the frustration caused by the lack of progress towards a settlement, I am also firmly convinced that a renewed outbreak of hostilities would only serve to delay that progress even further, quite apart from the very great dangers involved not only for the peoples of the Middle East but also for world peace. I am hopeful therefore that means can be found to avoid such a development. I know that you, Mr. President, arc also much concerned at the hazards of the present situation. For my part, I have been making intensive efforts to find ways out of our present dilerrma. To this end I have today made a public statement, the text of which is attached to this letter, I would be prepared to make a brief visit to the area if this could in any way be helpful. I know that I can count on your co-operation and your full support in finding a solution to the problems which face us. I shall, of course, remain in close touch with Ambassador Meguid on current developments. Please accept, Mr. President, the assurances of my highest consideration. Kurt Waldheiia His Excellency Mr. Anwar El Sadat President of the Arab Republic of Egypt Cairo, Egypt In the past few days tension has risen dangerously In the Middle Sast, although at the present time there seems to be some relaxation and less grounds for fearing an imminent breakdown of the cease-fire. I do not need to dwell on the threat to international peace or on ;.he consequences for the people of the area of a new war in any part of the Middle Sast. Such a war would inevi- tably cause vast suffering and destruction in the region itself, and it would also have most serious repercussions elsewhere in the world. The reasons for the present tension are basi- cally similar to those which have on several occa- sions in the past led to the breakdown of peace- keeping arrangements followed by fullscale hostili- ties. A future war is likely to be even more bitter and destructive and the danger to international peace and well-being even greater. As long as there is no settlement of the basic problems of the Middle East or appreciable and conti- nuing advance towards that goal, the sense of frustra- tion and bitterness on one side and of insecurity on the other will create the explosive situation At.ich is at the root of the present tension. The t«vo vital needs, therefore, are real progress towards a just and peaceful settlement and the. maintenance of the cease-fire in all sectors. The'United Nations is deeply involved in the effort to achieve both of these aims. When the two disengagement agreements were concluded, there was a widely shared hope that they would provide the necessary first step in the process of settlement. It is vital that the momentum that existed at that time should be regained. Whatever the difficulties - and they are very great - progress must be made, and made very soon, toward a solution of the real underlying problems whose continued existence is the reason for the explosiveness-of the Middle East situation. A.. - &2 As for the cease-fire, the United Nations and its peace-k-eplng instruments in the area, ;vMch work.on the basis of the existing disengagement agreements, have played and are playing a crucial role in avoiding active military confrontations and preserving the calm which is essential for effective negotiations.

  • News of Terrorism and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
    The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center News of Terrorism and the Israeli- Palestinian Conflict October 16 – 22, 2013 The tractor of the Palestinian terrorist who broke into an IDF base near Al-Riyadh al-Maliki to carry out a vehicular attack (IDF spokesman, October 17, 2013). Terrorist events this past week focused on a vehicular terrorist attack at an IDF base near Al-Ram (south of Ramallah), carried out with a tractor. IDF soldiers shot and killed the terrorist driving it. Fatah and Hamas praised the attack, which was part of the popular resistance. So far the Palestinian Authority (PA) has not issued a statement regarding the attack. Ismail Haniya, head of the de-facto Hamas administration in the Gaza Strip, gave a speech praising the terrorists who carried out the recent attacks in Judea and Samaria. He called for a "intifada of the masses," saying that the "armed resistance" should not be relinquished as a means of "liberating Palestine." 174-13 2 The Situation in Israel's South IDF Uncovers an IED on the Gaza Strip Border On October 21, 2013, an IDF force carrying out a routine patrol along the Gaza Strip border in the region of Kissufim in the central Gaza Strip uncovered a large IED near the security fence. It was defused by the IDF. There were no casualties and no damage was reported (IDF spokesman, October 21, 2013). Rocket Fire This past week no rocket hits were identified in Israeli territory.

Using ethnocratic and control theories it argues instead that the Palestinian Christians are inextricably associated with the wider Arab “problem” and remain, as a result, permanently outside the boundaries of the dominant Jewish national consensus. Moreover, this thesis argues that state attitudes towards the small Palestinian Christian communities are quite unique and distinguishable from its attitudes towards other segments of the Palestinian Arab minority, whether Muslim or Druze.

  • Conspicuous Among the Passengers and Organizations Aboard the Mavi Marmara Were Turkish and Arab Islamic Extremists Led by IHH
    The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center October 5, 2010 Conspicuous among the passengers and organizations aboard the Mavi Marmara were Turkish and Arab Islamic extremists led by IHH. They were joined by extremist European left activists and volunteers who answered the call to help the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and were not 1 partners in IHH's violent plans. (Full Version) The Turkish passenger ship Mavi Marmara, the flagship of the flotilla. It is decorated with the Turkish flag and the logo of the Turkish Islamist organization IHH, the moving spirit behind the flotilla (next to the Turkish flag) (Photo from mycatbirdseat.com, May 22, 2010). 1 This is an executive summary of a detailed report analyzing the human, ideological and organizational components of the passengers aboard the Mavi Marmara. The document itself shortly will be issued separately. 2 2 Executive Summary 1. This objective of this report is to examine the 561 passengers aboard the Mavi Marmara, their identity and the ideology, nature and goals of the organizations behind them, based on the large amount of evidence accumulated since the flotilla. Even if our information is not complete, it clearly provides a picture of their most prominent common characteristics. 2. The Mavi Marmara, the flagship of the last flotilla, was launched, along with two cargo ships, by an extremist Turkish Islamist organization called IHH, which played a key role in the extensive preparations for the voyage. The IHH operatives, some of whom boarded the ship in Istanbul without undergoing a security check, were those who were the most active assailants in the violent, premeditated confrontation with the IDF (while the IDF took control of five other ships – as well as the Rachel Corrie – without exceptional incident).

  • The Palestinian Return Centre: London-Based Center for Anti-Israeli Propaganda, Affiliated with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, Outlawed in Israel
    The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center March 30, 2011 The Palestinian Return Centre: London-based center for anti-Israeli propaganda, affiliated with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, outlawed in Israel. It promotes the demand of the Palestinian refugees to return as a way of destroying Israel. Senior PRC figures send flotillas and convoys to the Gaza Strip and transfer funds to Hamas. (Full version) One of the PRCs anti-Israeli propaganda activities is holding annual Palestinian conferences in various European countries. They focus Arab-Muslim communities in Europe on the ideology and political agenda of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Above, Ismail Haniya, head of the de facto Hamas administration in the Gaza Strip, speaks at the seventh annual conference, held in Milan in 2009 (PRC annual Palestinian conference in Europe website). 339-10 2 Overview The PRC's masthead. The Letter R superimposed on a kaffiyeh stands for "return;" inside it is a miniature map of "Palestine," symbol of the final goal, the establishment of a Palestinian state to replace the State of Israel. 1. The Palestinian Return Centre (PRC) is a Palestinian center for anti-Israeli propaganda, established in London in 1996. It is affiliated with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood and some of its senior figures are Hamas activists who found refuge in Britain. 2. Its foundation was based on rejection of the Oslo Accords, a strong denial of the right of the State of Israel to exist and the concept of the "right" of the Palestinian refugees and their descendents to return to the places abandoned in 1948, all to be used as tools to fight Israel and the peace process.

  • MIDDLE EAST the Greek Catholic Archbishop of Jerusalem, Judaea and Samaria, Mgr
    Keesing's Record of World Events (formerly Keesing's Contemporary Archives), Volume 21, January, 1975 International, Page 26879 © 1931-2006 Keesing's Worldwide, LLC - All Rights Reserved. MIDDLE EAST The Greek Catholic Archbishop of Jerusalem, Judaea and Samaria, Mgr. Hilarion Capucci, was on Dec. 9 sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment by the Jerusalem district court after being found guilty of smuggling arms and explosives into Israel on behalf of Al Fatah Syrian-born Mgr. Capucci was remanded in custody on Aug. 18 on suspicion of having acted as a courier for Al Fatah Prior to his initial arrest on Aug. 8, police had found weapons, explosives and ammunition concealed in the archbishop's car after he had returned to Israel on July 25 from Beirut. Israeli suspicions in respect of the archbishop's activities had been aroused earlier in the year when it had been established that $750,000 had been stolen from his Jerusalem residence. The arrest of the archbishop caused immediate protests to be lodged by (i) the Patriarch of the Greek Catholic Church in Beirut, who accused the Israelis of seeking to discredit Mgr. Capucci as part of a campaign to disperse the Christian communities in Jerusalem and complete the Jewish takeover of the holy city, and (ii) other Christian leaders in the Arab world, who claimed that the archbishop had been “framed” by Israeli agents because of his outspoken anti-Israel views. Moslem religíous leaders also joined in condemning the arrest. A statement issued after a meeting of Christian and Moslem religious leaders in Amman on Aug.
