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.

1 2017 Annual Report 2017 Had the Dubious Distinction Of
. 2017 Annual Report 2017 had the dubious distinction of marking the 50th anniversary of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. After half a century, during which Israel’s policies have created profound changes that indicate long-term intentions, it is clear that this reality cannot be viewed as temporary. In 2017, B'Tselem continued to document and publicize human rights violations, while exposing the injustice, violence and dispossession at the very core of the occupation regime, challenging its legitimacy in Israel and abroad, and helping to expedite its end. 1 Table of Contents 2017 in Numbers 3 Executive Director's Note 5 Marking the 50th year of the Occupation 6 Photography Exhibit 6 Media Surrounding the 50th Anniversary 8 Reports Published in 2017 8 Getting Off Scot-Free 8 Made in Israel: Exploiting Palestinian Land for Treatment of Israeli Waste 9 Unprotected: Detention of Palestinian Teenagers in East Jerusalem 9 Fatalities 10 Trigger-Happy Responses to Clashes, Stone-throwing Incidents, Demonstrations or Evading Arrest 10 A Shoot-to-Kill Approach in Cases Defined as Assault 10 Security Forces Violence Against Palestinians 11 The Gaza Strip – A Decade of Siege 11 Separating Families 12 Gaza Executions 12 Prisoners and Detainees 13 Hunger Strike 13 Minor detainees 13 Communities Facing Demolitions and Displacement in Area C 14 Communities Under Imminent Threat of Transfer 14 An Increasingly Coercive Environment 15 Demolition Data 15 Demolitions in East Jerusalem 16 Batan al-Hawa -

Initial Analysis of the Israeli Supreme Court's Decision in the Settlements Regularization Law Case
Initial Analysis of the Israeli Supreme Court's Decision in the Settlements Regularization Law Case HCJ 1308/17, Silwad Municipality, et al. v. The Knesset, et. al Issued 15 June 2020 On 9 June 2020, the Israeli Supreme Court decided in an 8 to 1 judgment to cancel the "Settlements Regularization Law for Judea and Samaria [the West Bank]".1 In a ruling spanning 107 pages, the court found that the law violates the rights of Palestinians to property, equality and dignity disproportionately.2 The Knesset passed the controversial law in February 2017. The law provides that the State of Israel could expropriate privately-owned Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank, and to retroactively “regularize” or “legalize” the Israeli settlements built on it. An Addendum to the Law identified 16 settlements to which the law would apply (see Annex at the end of this paper, which also includes a list of the Palestinian villages on which these settlements encroach). According to the court's decision, as of 2016, the scope of Israeli construction on privately-owned Palestinian land in the West Bank amounted to 3,455 structures, of which 1,285 are residential buildings or public institutions.3 The Court’s decision is based on several main legal principles: 1. International law and the non-sovereignty principle applies to the West Bank: The decision stresses that since June 1967, the laws that apply in the West Bank are the laws of "belligerent occupation," supplemented by international human rights law. Further, “the practical implication is that the law of the State of Israel does not apply in the region.”4 1 HCJ 1308/17, Silwad Municipality, et al.

Insiders' Jerusalem - Urgent
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.
