  • Deir Dibwan Town Profile
    Deir Dibwan Town Profile Prepared by The Applied Research Institute – Jerusalem Funded by Spanish Cooperation 2012 Palestinian Localities Study Ramallah Governorate Acknowledgments ARIJ hereby expresses its deep gratitude to the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation for Development (AECID) for their funding of this project.

It was accomplished through the "Village Profiles and Needs Assessment;" the project funded by the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation for Development (AECID).

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

  • United Nations Office for the Coordination Of
    Reporting period: 28 July - 3 August 2015 Weekly Highlights On 31 July, an 18-month old Palestinian baby was burned to death, and the parents and sibling critically injured in Duma village (Nablus), after suspected Israeli settlers, threw firebombs into the house, while the family was asleep. Graffiti reading “revenge” was widely interpreted by media to indicate that the attack was carried out “in response” to the Israeli authorities’ demolition of two buildings in the settlement of Beit El, constructed without an Israeli-issued permit on privately-owned Palestinian land. The attack was strongly condemned by Israeli officials, including Israel’s President and Prime Minister, as well as by senior UN officials. In this regard, the Secretary General stated that “(c)ontinued failures to effectively address impunity for repeated acts of settler violence have led to another horrific incident involving the death of an innocent life. This must end”. The arson attack triggered wide-spread protests across the West Bank, some of which evolved into clashes with Israeli soldiers, resulting in the killing of a 17 year-old Palestinian boy at Atara checkpoint (Ramallah) on 31 July, and the injury of another 93 Palestinians, including 26 children. Another 13 Palestinians, including two children, were injured in a range of other clashes, including in the context of protests against Israeli imposed restrictions on Palestinian entry into Al Aqsa Mosque Compound in East Jerusalem, which in several instances coincided with the entry of settlers and other Israeli groups into the compound; search and arrest operations; and Israeli forces’ interventions in clashes between settlers and Palestinians.

    Agricultural Projects in the West Bank and Gaza Strip 2008 APIS Report January ‐ December 2008 1 Agricultural Projects in the West Bank and Gaza Strip 2008 The data for this report was retrieved from Table (i) Activity logged by members during the the Agriculture Project Information System campaign (27 August – 1 December 2008) (APIS), an information sharing and response monitoring tool for the agricultural sector, Type of activity Unit to which relevant non‐governmental Organization Login 302 organizations (NGOs), international Add New Project 56 organizations, community‐based Edit Project Profile 120 organizations, United Nations (UN) Agencies Add/Edit Activity 1262 and donors upload details of their projects and developments, creating a comprehensive picture of agricultural interventions in the West Bank and Gaza Strip (WBGS). This report is designed to assist the sector in developing policy, programmes, and projects. APIS is managed by the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and funded by the Spanish Cooperation (AECID). The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) acts as a technical adviser to the MoA and compiles analytical reports for the agricultural sector based on data uploaded in APIS. It is important to note that the MoA aims to have all agricultural‐related interventions stored in APIS, and uses this information in creating analytical reports for specific subsectors or areas in WBGS. The success of the database relies on its 169 members to enter project data; FAO and MoA launched a three‐month campaign in September 2008 among APIS members to encourage their active uploading of projects implemented in 2008 throughout the WBGS.
