  • The Palestinian institute also said that demolition orders and orders to stop construction were issued to a further 139 houses and facilities.

    An estimated 653 dunums of Palestinian land in various parts of the West Bank is also facing confiscation orders.

    Ghassan Doughlas, a Palestinian official who monitors settlement activity in the northern West Bank, has said there has been an escalation in the policy of demolishing homes and institutions in 2016.

    In an interview with Quds Press, Doughlas stressed that the demolitions aim to displace Palestinians in order to “bring the settlers on the ruins of the Palestinians’ homes”.

    ‘Indiana is preparing to pull tens of millions of dollars in retirement investments out of companies that are seeking to inflict economic harm on Israel.

    A bill awaiting Gov. Mike Pence’s signature would require the Indiana Public Retirement System (INPRS) to identify and divest from companies that are boycotting Israel. House Bill1378, which passed unanimously in the House and 47-3 in the Senate, is targeting businesses that are engaged in the boycott, divestment and sanctions, or BDS, campaign.

    BDS is an international movement aimed at ending Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories, in part by penalizing the nation’s economy. The campaign targets institutions that do business in or are perceived to profit from Israeli settlements.’
