The Secretary-General would like to repeat that he regrets any decision which may result in the expansion or increase of settlements in the occupied territories. Such a decision would clearly be in contravention of resolutions and decisions of the General Assembly and the Security Council and can only hamper the search for a just, lasting and comprehensive settlement of the Middle East problem. * ***• * For information media - not an official record STEVEN S.

Why must the Secretary General persist in his refusal to accept the responsibility for his own regrettable decision? I was also surprised at the writer's defense of the Secretary General's positions vis-a-vis terrorism and anti- semitism though my original letter, which prompted the Under Secretary's response, made no reference to either. To quote from Ross Baker's op ed article in the New York Times of January 20, 1981, "A clear conscience needs no public infor- mation officer." Very truly yours, STEVEN S.

It nay be recalled that on IT Dacesiber lOBo the Secretary -General addressed a nev appeal to Prime Minister Manachsn Begin in vhich hs •urged the Prime Minister to reconsider the decision of his Government to deport the Mayors of Hebron and Kolhoul and to permit the Pales- tinian leaders to return to the Vest Bank. This ratter was considered by the Security Council at its 2259th and 2260th nastings on 19 December 1930.

  • Najla's Dance: the Elusive History of the Al-Bireh-Jerusalem Train
    Najla’s Dance: The Elusive History of the al-Bireh– Jerusalem Train A Photographic Essay Figure 1: Najla with the oil jug leading the wedding dance. by Salim Tamari Embroidery, In‘ash al-Usra Collection, al-Bireh. During traditional wedding celebrations in al-Bireh and neighboring villages, it is still possible to hear this strange incantation celebrating the roaring whistle of the Jerusalem train approaching the southern approaches of Kafr ‘Aqab. كومي اركصي يا نجال بابريك الزيت [Come Najla do the dance of the oil jug [on your head زمر بابور البيرة الله يجيره ,The al-Bireh engine whistles, may God protect it وسمعنا زعيكه من كاع الواد We hear its cry from the bottom of the valley1 There are several variations to this song. Invariably they evoke separation from loved ones taking a train or a steamship – the Arabic word babur can mean locomotive, steamship, or engine – to distant lands. Another song goes: ازمر يا بابور ازمر Blow, engine, blow بعدك بأراضينا ,while still in our lands حاجة تزمر يا بابور ,Hold your whistle, engine تا نودع أهالينا .while we bid our kin farewell ازمر يا بابور ازمر Blow, engine, blow بعدك ع سوا عارة while you are still in ‘Ara حاجة تزمر يا بابور ,Hold your whistle, engine تا نودع أهل الحارة so we can bid our neighbors farewell.2 Is the whistle in al-Bireh wedding song from a train or a ship? Most old-timers have no recollection of a train passing by al-Bireh or its environs. Ships off the coast of Jaffa were too far from al-Bireh for their whistles to be audible.

  • Six-Month Report on Israeli Settlements in the Occupied West
    Fri, 15/12/2017 - 10:11 NEWS STORIES Six-Month Report on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem ( January - June 2017) In the first half of 2017, a total of almost 8,000 settlement units in the West Bank including East Jerusalem were advanced in different stages in the planning and implementation process. Almost 5,000 housing units were promoted through plans and close to 3,000 housing units were advanced through tenders. This development will over several years enable potentially more than 30,000[1] Israeli settlers to move to the Occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. The expansion of settlements occurred through a variety of methods, including the approval of a new settlement, the construction of housing units and public structures, the retroactive legalization of existing outposts and the declaration of Palestinian territory as Israeli “state land”. There are currently approximately 208,000 Israelis living in East Jerusalem while the settler population in area C in the occupied West Bank, excluding East Jerusalem is some 399,000. This brings the settler population to approximately 600,000 Israeli settlers in 142 locations in the West Bank (130) including East Jerusalem (12)[2]. According to the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics 4.6 % of the total Israeli population resides today in the Occupied West Bank excluding East Jerusalem. A key development during the reporting period was the establishment of a new settlement, Amihai, in the West Bank in proximity to the existing settlement of Shilo, and in proximity of numerous outposts. In reality it is the first official settlement that is established by a government decision since 1992.

  • Residential Patterns of the Haredi Population in Jerusalem
    bs_bs_banner Volume 37.6 November 2013 2152–76 International Journal of Urban and Regional Research DOI:10.1111/j.1468-2427.2012.01187.x Between the Individual and the Community: Residential Patterns of the Haredi Population in Jerusalem NURIT ALFASI, SHLOMIT FLINT ASHERY and ITZHAK BENENSON Abstract This article examines how different levels of internal organization are reflected in the residential patterns of different population groups. In this case, the Haredi community comprises sects and sub-sects, whose communal identity plays a central role in everyday life and spatial organization. The residential preferences of Haredi individuals are strongly influenced by the need to live among ‘friends’ — that is, other members of the same sub-sect. This article explores the dynamics of residential patterns in two of Jerusalem’s Haredi neighbourhoods: Ramat Shlomo, a new neighbourhood on the urban periphery, and Sanhedria, an old yet attractive inner-city neighbourhood.
