Recent developments demonstrate that the Netanyahu government continues to promote the settlement known as “E2” at
A-Nahla (Givat Eitam):
1. The Ministry of Housing has begun to plan the area for the settlement.
2. A new court decision regarding the status of the land is construed as partial approval of the land as state
land.
3. Israeli authorities have destroyed a Palestinian wheat field in the area designated for the settlement.
Americans for Peace Now (APN) is horrified and outraged by today's stabbing attack in Tel Aviv, which left 13 innocent civilians injured, some of them severely.
APN strongly condemns this terrorist attack by a young Palestinian from the West Bank, and stands with the people of Israel.
The stabber, a 22-year-old from the West Bank town of Tulkarm, reportedly told his interrogators that he was radicalized by recent violence and by Islamist messages. He apparently acted alone, not by order of a Palestinian organization. A spokesman for Hamas in the Gaza Strip praised his attack.
