Stallions Of Palestine
For many Palestinians, Arabian horses are a living symbol of their culture’s resilience; as one breeder says, they are “art mixed with history.” In this new documentary, meet a young Palestinian breeder named Abdel Naser Musleh and his tight-knit family as they navigate the difficulties of raising these delicate animals in the West Bank—where access to vets and training facilities always seems to be a checkpoint away.

EXCLUSIVE: Archaeologists warn against Israeli development plans in Lifta
On the outskirts of Jerusalem a small, abandoned village called Lifta finds itself on the verge of a rebirth. It could soon be the site of modern new housing complexes and development... But a new archaeological survey says part of the site dates back thousands of years and needs to be protected. So why hasn't that archaeological survey been revealed to the public? Culture Correspondent Maya Margit investigates.

Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem, Palestine 182 Caritas Street, Bethlehem, Palestine
ARTIST: If you stay at the Walled Off you could find yourself literally sleeping inside a work of art. So far Banksy, Sami Musa and Dominique Petrin have customised guest rooms, more will follow.
SCENIC: The hotel boasts floor to ceiling views of graffiti-strewn concrete from almost every room. And for the exhibitionists amongst you - many are within range of the army watchtower. All scenic rooms are ensuite and equipped with wifi, fridge, radio, personal safe and air conditioning.
BUDGET: Outfitted with surplus items from an Israeli military barracks, this room offers a bed from $30 a night. No frills, includes locker, personal safe, shared bathroom, complimentary earplugs.
PRESIDENTIAL: This palatial suite is equipped with everything a corrupt head of state would need - a plunge bath able to accommodate up to four revellers, original artwork, library, home cinema, roof garden, tiki bar and a water feature made from a bullet riddled water tank. Comes with a complete set of Dead Sea bath minerals and an in-room dining service available upon request. Sleeps up to six.
PIANO BAR: Britain got its hands on Palestine in 1917 and the piano bar is themed as a colonial outpost from those heady days. It is equipped with languid ceiling fans, leather bound couches and an air of undeserved authority. Guests can peruse a collection of Banksy artworks that include vandalised oil paintings and statues choking on tear gas fumes. Warm scones and freshly brewed tea are served daily on fine bone china and the Walled Off Salad should not be missed.
GALLERY: This space enjoys complete autonomy from the rest of the hotel and is curated by the venerated historian and critic Dr. Housni Alkhateeb Shehada. He has assembled a permanent collection of real heft and significance. Many of the most notable Palestinian artists from the past 20 years are here - including Sliman Mansour with his iconic And the Convoy Keeps Going. An adjoining space is dedicated to temporary shows by upcoming artists. The gallery sells original work, prints and postcards.
MUSEUM: This home-made attraction is dedicated solely to the biography of the wall. It contains state-of-the-art audio visual presentations and a very old tree. Other highlights includes an animated history of the region, military pronography and original beach sculpture from Gaza. The cinema plays excerpts from the mighty Oscar nominated 'Five Broken Cameras' - and one of those very same bullet-damaged cameras is on display.
Curated in association with Dr Gavin Grindon from Essex University the museum contains almost fully fact-checked material and will be an ongoing repository for local stories, artefacts and testimonies.

He had asked for protection from the embassy after Israeli authorities requested him to be detained and extradited. For us, Omar is a hero, a martyr of Palestine, a man who has fulfilled his duty to his country and his people. Israel pursued him here in Bulgaria, where he lived for many years, as Israeli state pursues other Palestinian fighters who fulfill their duties to their country and nation.

STORYLINE:
Bulgarian authorities are investigating the unexplained death on Friday of a Palestinian man wanted by Israel for a 1986 killing.
The Palestinian ambassador to Bulgaria, Dr. Ahmed Al Mathbouh, said Zayed was found on Friday morning lying in front of the embassy's garage door.
He described Zayed as a hero, a martyr of Palestine, adding that his death was a a result of the continuing persecution by Israel.
The Palestinian militant group PFLP said Zayed was a member of their organisation, who together with his brother and another Palestinian had stabbed an Israeli to death in 1986 and had received life sentence.
In 1990, Zayed was hospitalised in Bethlehem following a hunger strike, and later escaped from the hospital, moving to several Arab countries before settling in Bulgaria.

Blockade of the Gaza Strip
The blockades of the Gaza Strip refers to a land, air, and sea blockade on the Gaza Strip by Israel and Egypt from 2007 to present. After the 2005 disengagement from the Gaza Strip by Israel, in 2006, Hamas won the Palestinian legislative election, triggering the 2006–07 economic sanctions against the Palestinian National Authority by Israel and the Quartet on the Middle East after Hamas refused to quit violence, respect previous agreements and recognize Israel. In March 2007, Hamas and Fatah formed a Palestinian authority national unity government headed by Ismail Haniya. Shortly after, in June, Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip in the course of the Battle of Gaza, seizing government institutions and replacing Fatah and other government officials with its own. Following the takeover, Egypt and Israel largely sealed their border crossings with Gaza, on the grounds that Fatah had fled and was no longer providing security on the Palestinian side.
Israel maintains that the blockade is necessary to limit Palestinian rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip on its cities and to prevent Hamas from obtaining other weapons. Prior to its 2011 opening of the Rafah crossing, Egypt maintained that it could not fully open its side of the border since completely opening the border would represent Egyptian recognition of the Hamas control of Gaza, undermine the legitimacy of the Palestinian National Authority and consecrate the split between Gaza and the West Bank.

Palestinian artist acknowledges Jewish historical period in Jerusalem
Transcript:
Palestinian artist, Ismail Midya: This painting represents Jerusalem in different periods. This is the Islamic period. This is the Christian period. Prior to that, is what I called the Jewish period. This is the Canaanite period. It's important to me and to all Palestinians because it's a map or document.
[PA TV (Fatah), July 24, 2012]
Palestinian forum convenes after 22 years
The Palestine Liberation Organization convened a parliamentary meeting in the West Bank city of Ramallah. This is the Palestinian National Council's first meeting in 22 years. It came two weeks before the US embassy decided to relocate to Jerusalem. The meeting focused on Jerusalem and protecting the Palestinian Legitimacy. The stalled reconciliation with Hamas is also going to be on the agenda.

Hamas shuts Gaza's main border with Israel
(26 Mar 2017) Gaza's Hamas rulers shut down the territory's main border crossing with Israel Sunday in a rare measure following the mysterious killing of a senior militant.
Hamas Interior Ministry spokesperson Iyad al-Bozum said the Erez crossing point will be fully closed in both directions until further notice.
The unusual measure came after a senior Hamas militant, Mazen Faqha, was found shot dead at the entrance of his Gaza City home late Friday.
Suspecting that local collaborators with Israel were involved, Hamas has since deployed dozens of checkpoints across the Gaza Strip, where drivers are asked to turn on their interior lights and hand over IDs for inspection.
The closing of Erez also applies to journalists, aid workers and patients needing medical help in Israel.
Faqha's funeral Saturday drew thousands of supporters, including the movement's top leaders in Gaza, who vowed to avenge the killing.
Israel has not commented on the killing.

Yesterday, air raids in Nablus was by far more punctual and more surgical than the air raids in Yugoslavia. No one is in a position to preach to Israel and we know exactly what other countries in western democracies - what they did when they combatting terrorism which threatens their capitals, their civilian populations. I totally deplore these double standards, this much hyprocrisy.

STORYLINE :
Angry Palestinians fired guns into the air and called for revenge on Wednesday as thousands of mourners poured into the streets of Nablus in a funeral procession for eight Palestinians killed a day earlier in an Israeli helicopter raid.
The huge crowd surrounded the bodies as they were removed from the Nablus hospital and carried through the streets on stretchers, covered with Palestinian flags.
Many waved green flags of the radical Palestinian group Hamas, whose offices were the target of Tuesday's assault.
Israeli security forces warned that Palestinian militants were likely to attempt a major attack.
Government officials defended the Nablus assault, which killed six people in the third-floor Hamas office, including a senior leader Jamal Mansour.
Two brothers, ages 5 and 8, were killed by shrapnel on the street below the offices.
Former Israeli Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh accused international critics of double standards saying the attacks were aimed at defending the Israeli population from further Palestinian violence.
Israeli officials said the main target of the operation was Mansour, 42, a top leader of Hamas, a militant Islamic group opposed to any peace negotiations with Israel.
Israel charged that Mansour was part of the Hamas leadership behind 10 bomb attacks since November, including a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv June 1 that killed 23 people, most of them Israeli teen-agers, and was planning more.
Palestinians said he was a political figure.
Two local Hamas leaders, Jamal Salim, 41, and Fahim Dawabshe, 32, were also killed.
The Israeli strike brought international reproach.
Hundreds of mourners attended the another funeral - of Palestinian policeman Muhammed Al-Hassani, 22, killed on Tuesday in clashes with Israeli soldiers at Netzarim junction on the border between Gaza and Israel.
Meanwhile, a small pipe exploded on Wednesday in a park next to the King David Hotel - one of Jerusalem's best known and most luxurious hotels.
Police said the blast caused no injuries or damage, but it added to the jittery atmosphere in Jerusalem, where Israeli security forces are on high alert.

STORYLINE:
Palestinian prime minister Mahmoud Abbas briefed Yasser Arafat on Friday on the issues discussed during the Aqaba summit.
The meeting took place at Arafat's battered headquarters in Ramallah in the West Bank and is the first since Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, returned from the summit with US President George W. Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
The Aqaba summit ended with statements by the four participants, including the host King Abdullah II of Jordan.
The statements paved the way for a continuation of talks between Israelis and Palestinians.
As part of the US-backed road map to Palestinian statehood, the Palestinians have to disarm and dismantle militant groups that have killed hundreds of Israelis in shootings and bombings in 32 months of fighting.
Sharon pledged to dismantle illegal settlements in the Palestinian territories.
Abbas has been trying to negotiate with the militias rather than use force, and said earlier this week he was optimistic he could broker a truce within a week.

SUMMARY
=======
The Second Intifada, also known as the Al-Aqsa Intifada (Arabic: انتفاضة الأقصى Intifāḍat al-ʾAqṣā; Hebrew: אינתיפאדת אל-אקצה Intifādat El-Aqtzah), was a period of intensified Israeli–Palestinian violence, and which the Palestinian describe as an uprising against Israel. The violence started in September 2000, after Ariel Sharon made a visit to the Temple Mount, seen by Palestinians as highly provocative; and Palestinian demonstrators, throwing stones at police, were dispersed by the Israeli army, using tear gas and rubber bullets.High numbers of casualties were caused among civilians as well as combatants: the Palestinians by numerous suicide bombings and gunfire; the Israelis by tank and gunfire and air attacks, by numerous targeted killings, and by responses to demonstrations. The death toll, including both military and civilian, is estimated to be about 3,000 Palestinians and 1,000 Israelis, as well as 64 foreigners.Many consider the Sharm el-Sheikh Summit on 8 February 2005 to be the end of the Second Intifada, when Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon agreed that all Palestinians factions would stop all acts of violence against all Israelis everywhere and, in parallel, that Israel would cease all its military activity against all Palestinians everywhere. They also reaffirmed their commitment to the Roadmap for peace process. Sharon also agreed to release 900 Palestinian prisoners of the 7,500 being held at the time, and to withdraw from West Bank towns. However, the violence continued into the following years, though suicide bombings decreased significantly.
GAZA STRIP: BOMBS ATTACKS NEAR JEWISH SETTLEMENT UPDATE (3)
Arabic/Nat
The Israeli army says two Palestinians blew themselves up Tuesday in failed bombings outside Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip, but Palestinian police blamed one of the blasts on Israeli soldiers.
Two Palestinians - one of them a policeman - were also shot and killed by Israeli troops in the West Bank.
The Israelis said the suicide bombers apparently targeted school buses for Jewish children, but both missed their targets.
Tuesday's attacks came at a time of deadlock in Israeli-Palestinian peace talks - triggering fresh accusations from both sides.
The first bomb exploded on the route used by a school bus which collects children from the Jewish settlement of Nezarim.
But a Jewish settler leader said the bus had been delayed and was not near the explosion.
A Palestinian police commander said the suicide bomber blew himself up about 1.5 kilometres (one mile) from Nezarim.
Israeli soldiers and Palestinian police arrived at the scene to co-ordinate the aftermath.
Police say the second blast, near the Kfar Darom settlement, occurred when a cart loaded with explosives went off near an Israeli taxi.
A police statement said there were no Israeli casualties but several Palestinians were wounded.
Israeli bomb disposal experts were called to the area to detonate a further suspicious object - and to mop-up after the blast.
Initially it was believed to be another suicide bombing but Palestinian police said this was not the case.
They said Israel troops threw explosives at a passing taxi and a donkey cart, killing a Palestinian bystander and wounding seven taxi passengers.
The explosions were the first attacks since a March 21 suicide bombing killed three Israeli women at a Tel Aviv cafe.
Also Tuesday, but this time on the West Bank, a Palestinian youth was shot by Israeli security forces after the car he was in apparently struck an Israeli soldier guarding a settlement road block.
Kemal al-Zaro, a Palestinian in his late teens, was killed near Kiryat Arba.
His father dispute's the official version of events.
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
My son and his friend were passing-by near some buildings - they stopped them - my son came down and they shot at him.
SUPER CAPTION: Sidki Zaro, Kemal al-Zaro's father
But Kemal al-Zaro wasn't the last young Palestinian to be killed by Israeli forces Tuesday.
A Palestinian policeman was killed and several others were wounded during clashes between Israeli soldiers and Palestinians protesters in the West Bank city of Nablus.
About one thousand Palestinians, most of them university students, marched towards an Israeli army checkpoint north of the city.
The crowd began hurling stones, and Israeli troops initially fired tear gas and rubber bullets, but then opened up with live rounds.
One man was killed and his body was evacuated with the wounded to Raffidiyeh Hospital in Nablus.
The slain man was identified as Haitham Mansour, an unarmed Palestinian policeman in his twenties.
Tensions have been high since Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu allowed bulldozers to start clearing ground for a new Jewish neighbourhood in disputed east Jerusalem.

5. SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian president:
The Palestinian position has not changed. If Israel wants to resume negotiations they have to halt building settlements for some time.
6. Wide of Abbas leaving news conference
STORYLINE:
Palestinian officials have asked the Obama administration to clarify a US envoy''s proposal to restart stalled peace talks with Israel by shuttling between the two sides.
Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas met on Saturday with his Egyptian counterpart Hosni Mubarak, whose country has also served as an intermediary between Israel and the Palestinians, to discuss the new US plan.
Peace talks collapsed last year during Israel''s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Efforts by President Barack Obama since then to revive them have failed, largely due to Israel''s refusal to permanently freeze settlement construction on land the Palestinians want for a future state.
Abbas told a news conference after his talks with Mubarak that the Palestinian position on Israeli settlement construction has not changed.
If Israel wants to resume negotiations they have to halt building settlements for some time, he said.
Abbas said on Friday he is optimistic the United States can bring the two sides back to the negotiating table.
