Under the agreement, the military authorities will "check the land ownership" and if it proves possible to declare it "state lands" the settlers will be allowed to come back. It is unclear how long the process of "checking" will take; an earlier draft, under which the settlers would be allowed back after six weeks, was vetoed by Defense Minister Ganz. Meanwhile, the army expects Evyatar to remain a major "point of friction with Palestinians". For inhabitants of the village of Beita, whose lands were seized by forces, it makes little difference if the houses erected illegally on the land are occupied by settlers or by soldiers. Either way, the militant protests - in whioch four villages were already killed - are expected to continue. [ak] Some Democratic lawmakers condemn Silwan demolitions, but most remain silent <https://mondoweiss.net/2021/07/some-dem-lawmakers-condemn-silwan-demolitions-but-most-remain-silent/?utm_source=mailpoet&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily-email-mailpoet> MICHAEL ARRIA - Mondoweiss - “They [Israel] say we have ‘illegal construction’, or buildings without permits, or that the fight to take over our homes and our land is a ‘real estate dispute’. But at its core, it is a political and ideological battle,” al-Bustan resident Quteibah Odeh told Mondoweiss correspondent Yumna Patel. “If you look outside your window in Silwan you can see the al-Aqsa mosque. We hear the sound of our prayers from the mosque here in Silwan. It’s a strategic location for the occupation.” “And this is the real battle: Israel is trying to move settlers in and push Palestinians out, so they can change the reality on the ground,” he added. [bz] Army injures dozens of Palestinians, including journalists,in Kufur Qaddoum <http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=83387> IMEMC - This Friday, villagers in Kufur Qaddoum marked the tenth anniversary of their weekly protests against the illegal Annexation Wall and settlements - specifically, against settlers having taken over the access road to their village, denying its use to villagers and forcing them to use a much longer and roundabout road. To mark the anniversary, the weekly protest was attended by political, social political and social and religious figures, such as Archimandrite Abdullah Yulio, parish priest of the Melkite Greek Catholic church, and the head of the Wall and Colonization Resistance Commission, Walid Assaf. Israeli soldiers soldiers tried to ambush the protesters in several locations, hiding behind trees or in buildings, and attacked the protesters with a barrage of gas bombs and rubber-coated steel bullets. Dozens of Palestinians suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation, and many sustained cuts and bruises. However, the soldiers failed in several attempts to haul protesters off to detention in Israel. [ak] Palestinians` rage grows — against their own governing authority <https://www.dw.com/en/palestinians-rage-grows-against-their-own-governing-authority/a-58134646?maca=en-newsletter_en_bulletin-2097-xml-newsletter&r=9716687466959700&lid=1876600&pm_ln=99289> DW - The Israeli-occupied West Bank is no stranger to political upheaval. But in the past week, Palestinian protesters have directed rising anger against their own government, the Palestinian Authority, which exercises limited self-rule in parts of the territory. Hundreds took to the streets in several towns over the past weekend to protest the violent death in Palestinian custody of Nizar Banat, a well-known critic of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority.It`s the culmination of long- simmering anger against an authority many Palestinians feel is out of touch. [ak] IDF soldier moderately hurt in West Bank stabbing <http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=83385> Yoav Zitun - Y-Net - According to the army, a woman soldier was attached in the Jordan Valley; the attacker tried to steal the soldier`s weapon and in the ensuing struggle stabbed her in the back; he tried to flee the scene with the weapon but was apprehended in the consequent manhunt. Later in the night, the attacked soldier`s fellows raided the attacker`s hometown Tubas and engaged in a widespread violent clash with inhabitants.

The 25 June article article by Asa Winstanley reveals that two Labour officers banned a local party branch from debating a motion calling for sanctions on Israel. It shows that Kim Bolton, chair of Hove and Portslade Constituency Labour Party, on the south coast of England, and Labour South East organizer Scott Horner, decided that discussing the motion “would undermine the party’s ability to provide a safe and welcoming space” for Jewish members. Bolton also concluded that a debate on sanctions against Israel may lead to “anti-Semitic behavior.” [bz] New government in crisis as Meretz refuses to the banning of Palestinian family reunifications <http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=83384> Michael Hauser Tov - Haaretz - Left-wing Meretz, which says it was not consulted on a compromise with the Evyatar settlers, will not support extending the temporary legislation that prevents Palestinians married to Israelis from gaining citizenship. The "temporary amendment" has been passed year after year since 2003, with hardly any public debate. But now Meretz, together with Majmud Abbas` Ra`am Party, are in government and in a position to oppose its passage. A senior Meretz official said that the right-wing component of the government coalition feels they can do whatever they want, and that everyone else will have to accept it. “[Yamina`s Ayelet] Shaked even allows herself to make threats. It doesn’t work that way. The two sides knew what type of marriage they were getting into,” and both sides will have to put up with things they don’t want, the official said. “This is a racist law and I reject it, even at the price of giving up the job of minister,” said Meretz`s Esawi Freige, who was just two weeks ago installed as Rgional Cooperation Minister. Similarly, Meretz Knesset member Mossi Raz said that Raz said earlier in the week that "This a discriminatory law that imposes restrictions on the Arab citizen and sees him as a security and demographic threat.” Meterz is also displeased with the compromise reache with the settlers of the manifestly illegal West bank settlement outpost Evyatar, which stipulates that though they have to leave now they may come back later and have a legal status as "an approved settlment". "We are in the government` but nobody consulted us about this compromise. It looks bad." [ak] Inside Beita’s Protests: ‘The settlers didn’t understand who they were dealing with’ <https://www.972mag.com/beita-protests-eviatar-settlement/> Oren Ziv - +972 Magazine - Over the past few weeks, the town of Beita, home to about 18,000 residents, has become one of the most prominent faces of the Palestinian struggle. In May, settlers established the outpost of Eviatar on land that belongs to Beita, as well as three other Palestinian villages. The demonstrations in Beita this past month have looked and felt like a battlefield: over a thousand residents and workers from other villages protest every week, with Israeli soldiers and Border Police attacking them with tear gas (sometimes fired from a drone), stun grenades, rubber-coated metal bullets, and live “toto” bullets. The army has killed four residents of the town, including 16-year-old Muhammad Hamayel and 15-year-old Ahmad Bani Shams, and has wounded more than 50 people by live ammunition. The demonstrations in Beita are quite distinct from those that characterized the Palestinian popular struggle during the late 2000s, which have largely waned in recent years. Unlike in other villages such as Bil’in, the Beita protests are not joint Palestinian-Israeli demonstrations, but clearly Palestinian ones; although individual Israeli activists attend, they do not march alongside Palestinian residents. And compared to most West Bank protests in recent years, Beita’s demonstrations are much larger, more frequent, and more intense. I joined Beita’s demonstrations over a number of weeks, compiling a chronicle of the town’s resistance and the attempts to suppress it. [ak] Bennet Government asks Biden to delay opening of Jerusalem consulate <https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-urging-us-to-delay-plans-to-reopen-consulate-until-new-govt-stabilizes/> Jacob Magid - Times of Israel - During his elections campaign, Biden pledged to reopen the US Consulate in Jerusalem which used to be an unofficial American Mission to Palestine and which was closed by Trump in 2019. Reopening the Consulate would largely nullify the Israeli gain from Trump moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem. While the Biden administration hopes to quickly re-establish de facto mission to Palestinians, the new Bennet government asked that it hold off Washington to wait until at least the end of the summer to give time for the politically diverse Israeli government to stabilize. Israel is required to sign off on the move, and Netanyahu had voiced his opposition. Ultimately though, the government in Jerusalem is expected to consent to the Consulate reopening, out of respect to US wishes.

On Tuesday, Mr. Blinken spoke in Jerusalem about his intention to “rally international support” to aid Gaza and rebuild what was destroyed. Despite the cease-fire, protests by Palestinians in Jerusalem and elsewhere have continued, the Israeli police have arrested scores of Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and Israeli settlers have persisted in their provocations.The fault lines in Israeli society have never been clearer and Jerusalem remains the tinder box that could ignite another catastrophic fire unless the underlying causes — Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories and its highly discriminatory policies — are dealt with.

Jawad Boulus, Adnan`s lawyer, confirmed that he had visited him at the Israeli detention facility of Al-Jalama and that he suspended his hunger strike upon the agreement with the Israel Prison Service.

It was as though by giving them only the briefest of mentions, the Palestinians, the nation that has lived under Israeli occupation for the past 54 years, would be obliterated out of existence. Instead he said he would “strengthen the building of communities across the land of Israel”, a statement clearly intended to include settlements in the occupied West Bank. Yet this was not the only violation of international law that appeared in the speech. In a clear rejection of the Oslo accords signed between Israel and the PLO in 1993 and 1995, he brazenly promised to “ensure Israel’s national interests in Area C”. This comprises some 60% of the area of the West Bank occupied by Israel in 1967, which according to those accords was to be handed back to the Palestinians.

The human rights organization reported that Israeli police have also failed to protect Palestinian citizens of Israel from premeditated attacks by groups of armed Jewish supremacists, even when plans were publicized in advance and police knew or should have known of them.(rh) <https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/6/21/violations-against-children-in-conflict-alarmingly-high-un> Violations against children in conflict ‘alarmingly high’: UN Aljazeera - Grave violations against children in conflict remain “alarmingly high”, with the coronavirus pandemic increasing their vulnerability to abduction, recruitment and sexual violence, a new United Nations report has found.

Grossman’s son Uri died in the Lebanon war in 2006 at age 20, and a student asked the novelist to reflect on the fact that his son might still be alive if the Grossman family didn’t live in Israel. Grossman responded that he had thought about leaving Israel, but resolved to stay because the country holds so much meaning to him. Grossman then took the question to Israel’s existential issues, and the importance of the Zionist mission for Jews to find a secure home in Israel, something they have failed to do in 73 years.
