Senior source: Hamas rebuilding Gaza terror tunnels

Reason FOR concessions? Are you kidding me? All you need to do is listen to what Hamas themselves say, that's all it takes. No need for intel, no sophisticated equipment, just to listen to what they say they want and how they want to achieve it.

I have written many times I think Abbas is a brave leader and Israel HAS to find a way to make peace with him. But there is a huge difference between that - which would have to be accompanied by some strict security measures at least for a while to make sure things are stable enough - which even he has so far been reluctant to sufficiently help with - and doing it unilaterally which I am completely against.

Who are YOU kidding? 2 weeks ago - reflects the price of "peace" with Israel. No need for intel or sophisticated equipment to guess that your "need for strict security measures to keep things stable" is what the rest of us refer to as call "armed robbery" where weapons are needed to "subdue victims".

JERUSALEM — The Israeli government announced Sunday that it would appropriate almost 1,000 acres of land in the West Bank that could be used to build homes for Jewish settlers.

The Israeli group Peace Now, which opposes expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, called it the largest land appropriation in 30 years.

The Civil Administration, the Israeli military authority responsible for implementing government policy in the West Bank, said the decision was based on the “instructions of the political leadership” after Operation Brother’s Keeper, the security sweep in June that followed the killing of three Israeli teens abducted in the area.

A leader of the council that administers the Gush Etzion settlement bloc told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that the appropriation paves the way for the establishment of a city to be called Gvaot.
