This Week In Palestine for March 24th through 30th, 2007 is a service of the International Middle East Media Center.
In the West Bank villages of Bil’in, Um Salamuna, and Qaffin, nonviolent demonstrations against the Apartheid Wall continued. The Arab nations, through the Arab League, re-launch the stalled Saudi Arabia peace deal with Israel. Tzipi Livni, Israel’s Foreign Minister, flatly refused to discuss it without broad amendments. In contrast, the U.S. welcomed the offer, and many Palestinians feel it is an acceptable resolution at this point. Ban Ki-Moon, the new Secretary General of the United Nations, took his forst trip to Palestine. He welcomed the unity government and expressed disagreement with the Wall. A sewage facility overflowed in Gaza, flooding the village of Um Al-Nasser, killing several people. The last week saw 30 invasions of Palestinian communities in the West Bank by Israeli forces. 5 people were killed and 60 abducted in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Despite the unity government, civil unrest continued to plague Palestine.
