 party and is expected to win the elections, but polls show he is loosing some ground. I was out of work for a while due to a health matter, but am back and sure the next weeks will be filled with campaigning in the run-up to the election.',700,700);)

![](javascript:doblowup('Wall? ','/images/uploaded/up_TSMI48.jpg','Israeli interim Prime Minister Ehud Olmert with his hand on his chin looks at a map of Gush Etzion Jewish settlement block and the proposed route of the "separation barrier" or wall as he begins a tour of the west Bank area on February 7, 2006. He was in Aminadav, inside Israel, overlooking the Palestinian, West Bank village of Beitar, and accompanied by Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, left. Olmert intends to keep all major Jewish settlement blocks in the West Bank, such as Gush Katif, and also will retain settlements along the border with Jordan, in deciding any borders between Israel and a future Palestine. Olmert also said he intends to speed up construction of the Wall, as it provides protection from "terrorist" attacks against Israelis. For the past several days a new wave of attacks and counter attacks have been occurring, especiaslly in the Gaza Strip.',700,700);)

Israeli police were expecting troubles connected with both the Hamas victory and the controversary over the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed during the prayers at al-Aqsa mosque and prevented Muslims under the age of 45 from entering the Old City. Hundreds of Palestinians prayed in the streets and and Israeli police quickly dispersed the crowd as chants of "Allah Akbar" rang out.',700,700);)

Abbas urged foreign countries not to stop their support of the Palestinian Authority despite the massive election win by Hamas. At left is Foreign Minister Nasser al-Qudwi, a relative of the late Yasser Arafat. Abbas must soon meet with Hamas to see if he can bring them into the PA government. My view is that, with the Israeli elections coming at the end of March, the PA has about 100 days to get its act together, change its rhetoric, and slip from being a purely Islamic, radical and militant movement into a respectfully acceptable political entity capable of operating inside a democratic government.',700,700);)

 vacant. Two other chairs are also vacant as the Likud ministers in Sharon\'s government resigned, including Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom, due to the upcoming elections. Olmert spoke of Sharon\'s medical condition and stressd that he would not tolerate violence to Israeli security forces from Jewish settlers who resort to force when the evacuation of \'outpost\' settlements in the West Bank takes place. The cabinet also decided to allow the Palestinian elections to proceed in East Jerusalem but without the campaigning of any Hamas movement candidate. As the cabinet was meeting the number two candidate on the Hamas list for Jerusalem was arrested in Arab East Jerusalem.',700,700);)

The security forces had to fight some 150 Jewish settlers to gain accces to the structure with a bulldozer. Traces of Gush Katif, but in the cold......stay tuned, the new government might be committed to remove illegal outpost settlements as per the "Road Map."',700,700);)

Israel established the zone to try to stop palestinian militants from firing rockets into Israeli communities. Palestinian militants have called off the so-called \'ceasefire\' so it appears 2006 will see more conflict, even over this area that Israel evacuated in August. The photo was made using a tripod and a ten meter cable. A long exposure until the canon fired and a bit of prayers that the flame coming out of the barrel would not engulf me, as the tank crew all stand behind the canon. Thankfully it was a small cahrge and did not get anywhere close to me - something I imagine the crew knew, as they let me stand close to the gun. At least I hope that was the case, and not blind faith....',700,700);)

Oil lamps hang from the ceiling. The silver star marking the place of birth is in a niche to the right (out of frame). ',700,700);){kind=spacer}
