The Israeli Palestinian conflict in few years: A State similar to South Africa Under Apartheid?
While U.S special envoy Mitchell is meeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a group of seventy Israeli settlers are demonstrating in the Arab village [singlepic id=177 w=320 h=240 float=right] Silwan in East Jerusalem.
The seventy settlers were given permission by the Israeli police to demonstrate in the Arab neighborhood with Israeli flags. The Palestinians considered this action an assault on the Palestinian presence in the city of Jerusalem and the result is a beginning of clashes which are taking place now and would expand to other parts of the city.
Israel continues to challenge the U.S Administration while Syria prepares for a possible war
While U.S officials have criticized advertisements which were made in favor of Israel’s position on Jerusalem, the Syrian President Bashar Alassad is visiting [singlepic id=174 w=320 h=240 float=right] Egypt to discuss many matters including the possibility of a war between Syria and Israel.
The supporting advertisements were made by the president of the World Jewish Congress Ronald Lauder and Nobel peace prize Laureate Elie Wiesel. The American officials agreed that such advertisements are not a wise move. Prime Minister Netanyahu insisted on stating that the demand to freeze settlements building in East Jerusalem cannot be answered and that Jerusalem is the united capital of Israel.
Israel celebrates its 62 Independence Day while Palestinians are still under Occupation
The Israeli people began to celebrate their sixty two Independence Day stating that East Jerusalem is a part of the united capital of Israel and that Israel must [singlepic id=173 w=320 h=240 float=right] only depend on itself in facing the dangers which it faces. The two statements were made by Prime Minister Netanyahu in an interview he made with the BBC and the yearly speech which is made for the memory of the Israelis who fall in the wars Israel goes through.
Israel’s Policy and the idea of A One State solution
It seems that the Israeli leadership finds it hard to accept any kind of commitment to stop the settlements in East Jerusalem and [singlepic id=148 w=320 h=240 float=right] the occupied West Bank. Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government does not agree on any kind of settlements freeze in East Jerusalem. Instead Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that the current Israeli government will continue to build in East Jerusalem exactly as the former Israeli leaders who have been building in the city since forty two years.
The Way to a New Intifada
Recently East Jerusalem and most of the West Bank territories witnessed violent clashes between the Israeli police and Palestinian protestors.

A Palestinian State Made by Israel
Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu stated tonight that any possible Palestinian state in the future will have to be surrounded from the east and[singlepic id=131 w=320 h=240 float=right] the west by the Israeli army. According to Netanyahu the “Palestinian state” will also have Israeli army soldiers on its borders with Jordan in order to prevent weapons smuggling into the West Bank. In his speech he said nothing about Gaza as a part of the Future Palestinian state but assured that Israel will never make another mistake by leaving the Palestinian state without an Israeli surveillance.
Jerusalem – Alquds or United Yerushalayem
Recently the Israeli abuse in Jerusalem against the Palestinians is becoming harsher. Since Oslo’s agreement the Israeli leadership decided to do everything possible to make any kind of compromise regarding Jerusalem impossible.[singlepic id=43 w=320 h=240 float=right]
The plan is to try to change Jerusalem into a complete Jewish city that holds no other religious or cultural sign even though it used to be in it since hundreds of years. Although Israel knows that any attempt to make a change in the old city and specifically in the Aqsa mosque would be like playing with fire because of its holiness and importance in the Islamic circles, it keeps on.
