Wine is a booming business in the West Bank where high altitudes and colder temperatures help produce award-winning wines, and Palestinians complain of "land grabs" by Jewish settlers so the grapes can be grown. <br />\r\n++++++++++++++<br />\r\nA beautiful building done in an Italian Mediterranean style, which I\'ve driven by a hundred times going north in the West Bank towards Ramallah. Another "fact on the ground."',700,700);)

The Israeli leaders said he will be delivering a major speech on his foreign policy next week, coming in the wake of the US president\'s speech in Cairo. Netanyahu said,<br />\r\n"Next week I will deliver a major diplomatic speech in which I will present to Israel\'s citizens our principles for achieving peace and security."<br />\r\n+++++++++++<br />\r\nWe are holding our collective breaths.',700,700);)

Settlers are trying to rebuild the small outpost after the Israeli authorities demolished it on May 21, but police now want to declare the area a \'closed military area\' to keep settlers from continuing to try to rebuild the site.

It usually pays off to look for different angles. There were lots of colleagues there covering tis event. The army gave this a \'largest ever\' title which of course made all the news channels very interested. What they failed to do was to give us something to see for the initial two day, so lots of media had stories but used file photos - and a lot of them dealt with Israeli bombing attacks on the Gaza Strip - as there was nothing to do from Sunday until Tuesday. Not a great was to plan "war\'s coverage."',700,700);)

, a Palestinian woman evicted from her home in the Sheikh Jarrah area of East Jerusalem in November 2008 sits with a friend and neighbor in front of a woman wearing a t-shirt that says in Arabic and English, "No To Ethnic Cleansing," during a press conference in the protest tent in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah on 19 May 2009. The Jerusalem Civil Court ruled yesterday that the two Palestinian families living in Sheikh Jarrah must evacuate their homes within two months. As such, the court accepted a petition submitted by the Jewish settler organization Nahalat Shimon International against the Ghawi and Hanun families living there since 1956. The court ruled against the two Palestinian families who argued that the settlers claim is baseless, and that the plot on which they live does not even include the contested land.',700,700);){kind=spacer}
 Uri Maklev of the United Torah Judaism party overlooks the Silwan neighborhood of Arab East Jerusalem from the City of David tourism site on 19 May 2009. A Knesset delegation held a meeting at this site in Silwan to commemorate Jerusalem Day, which is on Thursday, and explicitly support the various building programs underway in East Jerusalem including the parks program for what is called "The Holy Basin." <br />\r\n++++++++++<br />\r\nThis comes the day after the Obama - Netanyahu meeting and I\'d say, watch this space, because Jerusalem is going to become a very hot topic as Israel expands and takes property from Palestinians - the theme of today. Coincidence? I\'d say not.',700,700);)
