Overview

This past week Israel´s south was relatively quiet.

The UN Human Rights Council, an anti-Israel agency based in Geneva, voted to appoint a fact-finding mission to investigate the Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria. The Israeli prime minister strongly criticized the HRC. It was also reported (Haaretz) that Israeli was considering taking steps to punish the Palestinian Authority, which regards the vote as another victory in the international arena.

Palestinian media reporting about the administrative detentions has accelerated, focusing on Hana Shalabi, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad administrative detainee. A military court, using reliable intelligence information, determined she was involved in preparations for a terrorist attack.

Preparations continue, made by organizations and activists, many of them Islamist, for a series of propaganda events planned for this coming Friday, March 30, 2012. The events include rallies and marches to Israel´s borders from the neighboring countries, Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip, and within the borders of Israel itself ("Land Day"), as well as in many cities in the Middle East and around the world.
