Secretary of State Rex Tillerson determined that the Palestinians crossed that line in September, when Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called on the court to investigate and prosecute Israelis, according to State Department officials.Welcome to FMEP’s Weekly Settlement & Annexation Report.

The administration announced late Friday that the Palestinians had run afoul of a legal provision that says the Palestine Liberation Organization cannot operate a Washington office if the Palestinians try to get the International Criminal Court to prosecute Israelis for crimes against Palestinians. decision was “very unfortunate and unacceptable,” and accused Washington of bowing to pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government “at a time when we are trying to cooperate to achieve the ultimate deal”. Senior Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said the U.S. The potential rupture in relations threatens to undermine President Donald Trump’s bid for Mideast peace: a mission he has handed his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The Palestinians threatened on Saturday to suspend all communication with the United States if the Trump administration follows through with plans to close their diplomatic office in Washington. The Shin Bet then declared that the “funds of terror” worth thousands of shekels were confiscated. During one of the arrests in the city of Jericho, the Palestinians set fire to rubbish bins and tires, also threw bricks and stones to the forces leading the army to shoot at the main rioters. On Wednesday night, together with the Shin Bet security service and the Israeli police, the IDF arrested 11 Palestinians from the West Bank and the Jordan Valley for their suspected role in other cases of terror and disorder.

The army searched the villages in the area overnight in search of the terrorists behind the attack and reinforcements were sent to the area to watch the operations. The Israeli defense forces said an armed man opened fire on his car. The Israeli army took office in the city of Nablus and neighboring villages in the West Bank on Wednesday, establishing roadblocks at all entrances and exits after a terrorist attack in the area led to the killing of an Israeli man on Tuesday night, the rabbi 35-year-old Raziel Shevach. The investigation found “serious failures” in the conduct of the soldiers on the scene and that the officer in question had “contravened the rules of engagement”. The news further provoked anger in a controversy that had already caused many unrest, primarily because of the excessive force used by the Israeli army against the Palestinians and also because of the impunity for an extrajudicial kill that occurred when the troops Israeli women opened fire on an unarmed car near the village of Beit Sira, in the West Bank, on which seven teenage friends were traveling, returning home from an evening in a water park. The officer will not be accused of culpable homicide, since it is believed that the Palestinian group he shot was the assailant fleeing a terrorist incident.

The out-of-service Israeli soldier who shot “against the regulations” killing the 15-year-old Palestinian Mahmoud Badran in an allegedly mistaken identity case in June 2016 will be fired by the army for “failures in conduct”, but will not be prosecuted. The violations associated with the settlement according to the report affect every aspect of Palestinian life, including freedom of religion, movement and education, as well as lack of access to land, water and livelihood. The mandate of the UN office was only to identify the companies involved in the construction and surveillance of settlements, including transport services and banking and financial transactions that may raise human rights concerns. The report, which did not indicate the companies claimed that the work in the database production on the companies will not involve a judicial process of any kind. Most of these companies are based in Israel or its settlements (143), the second largest group in the United States (22), the rest in 19 other countries. The report is politically sensitive because the companies mentioned by the UN could be targeted for boycotts or divestments aimed at strengthening the pressure on Israel and its settlements, which many countries regard as illegal. The United Nations Human Rights Office said it had identified 206 companies that so far have commercial relations with Israeli settlements in the West Bank, where it claims that violations against Palestinians are “pervasive and devastating”.
