Israel's latest building project, to add 2,500 homes to the Givat Hamatos neighborhood of Jerusalem, was put in the pipeline for construction two years ago, but its final approval only came last week with an announcement from the Jerusalem municipality.

At the International Astronautical Congress, Israeli space technology had the attention of thousands in the "space business" as they gathered in Israel's booth last week to see the country's latest innovations. “The confidence that the heads of these agencies and corporations have in Israeli technology is evidenced by the large turnout at this event,” Science and Technology Minister Yaakov Peri said. “It shows Israel’s special standing in the world of space exploration and technology. The thousands of people who visited our exhibition will, I believe, become strong advocates for Israeli tech in their home countries.”

The goal of Hamas: from the river to the sea

Shortly after an Israeli delegation arrived in Cairo last week for indirect ceasefire talks with Hamas, the talks were adjourned until late October in deference to the Jewish and Muslim holidays.

Abbas Calls on UN to Set Deadline to End the “Occupation”

On Friday, in a venomous anti-Israel speech before the United Nations General Assembly, Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas proved that the Palestinian Authority is no partner for peace. Abbas seemed determined to kill any hopes of reviving negotiations in the near future when he angrily read from a prepared speech: “It is impossible and I repeat—it is impossible—to return to the cycle of negotiations that failed to deal with the substance of the matter and the fundamental question. The time has come to end this settlement occupation.”

The group classed these terrorists as “political prisoners.” Material produced for the week revealed this inaccurate, one-sided definition, which characterized such prisoners as “any Palestinian resident of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, or Israel—arrested in relation to the occupation.” (NGO Monitor)
