APN's daily news review from Israel
Tuesday November 20, 2018

 
Quote of the day:
“Even if Netanyahu and Bennett refuse to see the Green Line, the rest of the world differentiates between Israel and the occupied territories.

APN's daily news review from Israel
Monday November 19, 2018

 
Exchange of the day:
Negotiation specialist, Michael Tsur: "Negotiation takes place in the mind of your partner. In other words, until you understand how [Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah’s mind works, you won’t know what to do."
Interviewer: And if we’re dealing with Nasrallah?
Michael Tsur: “It doesn’t matter how dangerous I am perceived to be in your eyes. First of all make your request nicely, in a way that respects the addressee. For example, at [West Bank] border crossings I’ve been imploring soldiers for years not to say, in Arabic, ‘Hand over your ID card.’ Why not say, ‘Give me your ID card, please’?”
Interviewer: Would that approach at least move us toward peace negotiations?
Negotiation specialist, Michael Tsur: “I want to say that under the right leadership, it would take half a year, and we would have coexistence here. I won’t say peace, because that’s a terribly dangerous word, almost like love.”*

APN's daily news review from Israel

Quote of the day:
"...settlement building in East Jerusalem: where national parks are valued not as pastoral picnic settings, but as tools, by which the state transfers to a private right-wing organization the power to manage and develop public tourist, archaeological and educational projects."
-Betty Herschman, Ir Amim's Director of International Relations & Advocacy, explains that Amendment 17, the settler-supported "Planning for Housing in an Existing Neighborhood in a National Park" bill, which only applies to the national park that Israel declared in the E. Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan, is meant to permit the construction of settler homes and push out the Palestinians living there.*
