Le 1er décembre 1993, Israël et la Jordanie ont conclu un accord permettant à Amman d’ouvrir de nouvelles banques dans les territoires sans limitation de leur nombre. (Jerusalem Post, 2 décembre 1993) 6. Le 1er décembre 1993, le Procureur général Michael Ben Yair a déclaré que la création d’une organisation paramilitaire "Hashomer" envisagée par les colons pour assurer la protection des colonies de peuplement serait illégale et que les responsables de la sécurité devaient s’y opposer. (Ha’aretz, Jerusalem Post, 2 décembre 1993) 7. Le 1er décembre 1993, il a été signalé que la police avait récemment arrêté les sept membres d’une cellule du mouvement Hamas du quartier d’Abu Tor qui avaient lancé des cocktails Molotov sur un hôtel de Jérusalem le 6 septembre. (Jerusalem Post, 1er décembre 1993) 8. Le 3 décembre 1993, il a été signalé que l’enquête ouverte sur le décès d’Ahmed Abu Rish, le 28 novembre, avait révélé que la victime n’était pas armée et n’avait pas tiré lorsqu’elle avait été abattue par des agents secrets des FDI, contrairement à ce que leur porte-parole avait affirmé. Deux fugitifs recherchés des Fatah Hawks se trouvaient à son domicile lorsque les forces de défense israéliennes (FDI) ont fait irruption et ont commencé à tirer. Les deux fugitifs ont réussi à s’échapper. (Ha’aretz, 3 décembre 1993) 9. Le 7 décembre 1993, des dizaines de sections, dont plusieurs unités de combat d’élite, ont été déployées sur la Rive occidentale à la suite du meurtre de Mordechai et Shalom Lapid. Selon des sources militaires, à aucun moment au cours des dernières années il n’y avait eu autant de soldats sur la Rive occidentale. (Jerusalem Post, 8 décembre 1993; également relaté dans Al-Tali’ah, 9 décembre 1993) 10. Le 8 décembre 1993, il a été signalé que le Service général de sécurité et les FDI avaient récemment arrêté des dizaines de militants d’organisations opposées au processus de paix dans les territoires.

  • Ground to a Halt, Denial of Palestinians' Freedom Of
    Since the beginning of the second intifada, in September 2000, Israel has imposed restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the West Bank that are unprecedented in scope and duration. As a result, Palestinian freedom of movement, which was limited in any event, has turned from a fundamental human right to a privilege that Israel grants or withholds as it deems fit. The restrictions have made traveling from one section to another an exceptional occurrence, subject to various conditions and a showing of justification for the journey. Almost every trip in the West Bank entails a great loss of time, much uncertainty, friction with soldiers, and often substantial additional expense. The restrictions on movement that Israel has imposed on Palestinians in the West Bank have split the West Bank into six major geographical units: North, Central, South, the Jordan Valley and northern Dead Sea, the enclaves resulting from the Separation Barrier, and East Jerusalem. In addition to the restrictions on movement from area to area, Israel also severely restricts movement within each area by splitting them up into subsections, and by controlling and limiting movement between them. This geographic division of the West Bank greatly affects every aspect of Palestinian life.

The region includes approximately 122 Palestinian communities which together house close to 70,000 people, as well as roughly 8,500 settlers who live in settlements and unauthorized outposts affiliated with the Mount Hebron Regional Council.* The Palestinian population of the South Hebron Hills is primarily composed of Bedouin, as well as fellahin (farmers or agricultural laborers) cave dwellers, who lead a rural traditional lifestyle, earning their living primarily from agricultural work and sheep herding. Some are refugees who arrived in the West Bank after being expelled from Israel in 1948 and the years that followed, while others are descendants of families who have been living in the area for hundreds of years.

  • Of 19 a List of Companies Targeted for Divestment by Institutional Investors Around the World Due to Their Complicity In
    A list of companies targeted for divestment by institutional investors around the world due to their complicity in severe violations of human rights and international law in the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands and in the attacks on Gaza. Companies traded in the United States: THE BOEING COMPANY The Boeing Company is a multinational arms manufacturer headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. In 2012, it was listed as the second largest arms supplier in the world. The company has provided Israel with AH-64 Apache helicopters, F-15 Eagle fighter jets, Hellfire missiles (produced with Lockheed Martin), as well as MK84 2000-lb bombs, Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) kits that turn bombs into “smart,” guided bombs, and the Harpoon sea- to-sea missile system. The Israeli Air Force uses various other Boeing aircraft for transport and refueling, and is anticipating the delivery of Bell Boeing V-22 aircraft. Boeing has long-term cooperation agreements with the Israeli weapons industry that include the development of the Arrow anti-ballistic missile system (with Israel Aerospace Industries) and the marketing in the US of the Israeli UAV military drones Hermes 450 and 900.
