Pray For Gaza

Owners of Palestinian petrol distribution companies warned on Tuesday that the Gaza Strip will run out of fuel within five days because of Israeli reduction of deliveries.
"A number of minor petrol stations have closed down while others still have small quantities that can last for five days at maximum," said Mahmoud al-Khouzondar, a representative of Gaza fuel companies.

Peace Now Documents Yesha Growth, Council Proudly Acknowledges

Peace Now accused the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria (Yesha) of growing despite a settlement freeze. The Yesha Council responded: “Thanks for the compliment.”

The leftist anti-settlement Peace Now movement released a bulletin, Wednesday, on the state of Jewish life in Judea and Samaria in an effort to spur the government to take action against the communities there ahead of the Annapolis Conference. The group accused Jewish residents of continuing to build despite the refusal of the government to grant standard authorization to the construction.

Peace Now says that despite guidelines by the IDF Civil Administration that do not allow caravans (trailer homes) to be brought into hilltop communities, many hilltop communities have managed to bypass the ban by building pre-fabricated structures on site or building permanent homes.

The group also documents that Jewish population growth in Judea and Samaria is three times the growth within pre-1967 Israel, due both to high birth rates among the populace and an ongoing large influx of Israelis to the area.

Yesha Council Responds

The Yesha Council of Judea and Samaria Communities responded to the Peace Now report, thanking the group for documenting the positive phenomenon of Jewish growth in the regions liberated in the 1967 Six Day War. “The latest report proves that Jewish settlement in the area does not stop for a minute, not due to terrorism, building freezes, political pressure, or legal decrees,” the council said. “We thank Peace Now for documenting this important Zionist enterprise.”

Council members expressed satisfaction with the report’s finding that Jewish population growth in Judea and Samaria continues to be three times that of the growth within pre-1967 Israel. The Yesha Council said it hopes to see the Jewish population in the area pass 300,000 by the end of next year.
