Haaretz July 8 - Move is the first Netanyahu government confiscation of land in the territories ... Last week, acting on government orders, the Civil Administration said 189 dunums of land belonging to Palestinian village of Karyut to be state land, to retroactively legalize a road and houses in the neighborhood of the Yovel Eli settlement. This seems to violate Israel's longstanding commitment to the United States not to expropriate Palestinian land for settlement expansion. An Ottoman land law dating from 1858 allows wasteland to be declared state land. This law, which is still in force in the West Bank, is what was used to carry out the expropriation. OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (PIC) 8 July -- The Aqsa Foundation that caters for Muslim holy shrines in occupied Palestine, has warned Thursday that the Israeli plan to put a fence on what remained of Ma'manullah [Mamilla] cemetery was meant to wipe the historical cemetery from memory. In a statement it issued on this regard, the foundation explained that the IOA had been striving hard to remove the cemetery from memory of history, being the biggest and oldest Muslim cemetery in occupied Palestine occupying nearly 200,000 sq meters of land. OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (PIC) 8 July -- The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) has destroyed the solidarity tent that human right activists erected in support of the three Palestinian officials the IOA threatens to deport from their hometown ... According to local residents and eyewitnesses, special forces from the Israeli occupation army stormed the area and surrounded the solidarity tent before they leveled it to ground shortly before the activists held their final session to end a one-week conference in support of the threatened officials. Rebuilding Alliance 8 July -- Dear Friends, This morning we received a request from Haj Sami Sadeq, the head of the Al Aqaba Village Council, to ask you to call Congress. Here’s why: The local Israeli Civil Administrator visited the section of the Peace Road that had previously been demolished and subsequently repaired by the village. Haj Sami tells us that visits by this administrator are always followed by the issuance of demolition orders a few days later. Bulldozers may arrive in a matter of days after that to carry out the orders. In 2003, the State Department was able to halt home demolitions in Al Aqaba after two homes were destroyed, saving the rest of the village.
