Israeli member of the Knesset Moshe Feiglin desecrated the Aqsa Mosque compound early Wednesday, and toured its courtyards for half an hour. The director general of the Islamic endowments in Jerusalem Sheikh Azzam Al-Khatib said Feiglin toured the eastern area of the mosque and stood at the courtyard of the Dome of the Rock.
A cameraman followed the MK during the tour, al-Khatib said.
Feiglin said during his tour "al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock belong to the Jews. The Arabs should leave to Saudi Arabia."
Sheikh al-Khatib denounced Feiglin's provocative actions, which came after he failed to hold a Knesset session on Aqsa oversight, adding that he asked the occupation police chief in the Old City to get him out of the Mosque.
Feiglin had initiated a Knesset debate, calling for imposing full Israeli sovereignty over al-Aqsa compound, and ending Jordanian oversight over it. However, Israeli media reported that the debate would be postponed due to local, international and Jordanian pressures.
Meanwhile, groups of Jewish settlers, led by Rabbi Yehuda Glick, continued on Wednesday their incursions on al-Aqsa Mosque from the Mughrabi Gate, under the protection of the Israeli police.
PIC's correspondent pointed out that the Israeli police stationed at the gates of al-Aqsa Mosque have continued to impose restrictions on the entry of worshipers to the mosque.
The Israeli police on Wednesday arrested two students from the area of Bab al-Asbat, and took them to an interrogation center in Bab al-Khalil in the Old City of Jerusalem.

Palestinian medical sources reported, on Wednesday, February 19, 2014, that a Palestinian child was injured after being rammed by an Israeli settler’s vehicle, near the Ibrahimi Mosque, in Hebron city, in the southern part of the West Bank.

He was moved to the Hebron Governmental Hospital suffering a mild-to-moderate injury. The settler fled the scene.
There have been numerous similar incidents, in Hebron as well as several parts of the occupied West Bank, causing dozens of injuries and several deaths, among the Palestinians, including children and elderly.

A number of extremist Israeli settlers invaded Palestinian olive orchards, north of the central West Bank city of Ramallah, and uprooted more than 700 saplings.
Resident Awad Abu Samra, told the WAFA News Agency that that settlers invaded the al-Zahrat area, close to the Tormos Ayya town north of Ramallah, uprooted the saplings, and stole them.
The settlers apparently came from the “Eddy 'Aad” nearby illegal settlement outpost, built on Palestinian lands that belong to Qaryout villagers, south of Nablus.
Abu Samra added that the villagers even found the ID card of one of the settlers in the orchard, likely fell from him during the attack.
Abu Samra further stated that the attack is the second in less than three weeks, when the settlers uprooted more than 450 saplings planted as part of a project supervised by the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture.

Israeli settlers invaded the al-Khader town, south of the West Bank city of Bethlehem, and demolished a historic Palestinian barn.
Ahmad Salah, coordinator of the Popular Committee against the Wall and Settlements in al-Khader, said that the settlers demolished the barn, located in Ein al-Qassis area, west of al-Khader.
The barn is more than a 100 years old, and belongs to resident Riyadh Daoud Salah.
It is located close to Daniel illegitimate settlement, and the Boaz illegal settlement outpost, the Palestinian News & Info Agency (WAFA) has reported.
Salah said Palestinian lands and property close to Israel’s illegal settlements are subject to ongoing attacks by extremist settlers.
The attacks include demolishing and destroying hothouses, agricultural buildings, cutting and uprooting trees, in addition to flooding Palestinian orchards and lands with sewage.
Salah said the settlers are trying to remove the Palestinians from their lands, in order to build and expand their illegitimate settlements and outposts.

The Israeli supreme court in occupied Jerusalem declined a petition filed by a Palestinian family from Al-Khalil city about their ownership of a 300-dunum land taken by force by Jewish settlers. According to Haaretz newspaper on Wednesday, the court justified its rejection by saying that the Palestinian-owned land had been seized long ago, so it would be impossible now to compel the Israeli army and its civil administration to take action against the settlers in question.
In another incident, the same newspaper said that Israeli minister of housing Uri Ariel prepared a plan to build a residential outpost consisting of 2,250 housing units in Ein Karem neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem.
It added that the ministry of housing intends to transfer the ownership of the Palestinian lands, which the project will be built on, to the Israeli government.
It noted that the Israel land authority would market for the building of these units.

Hanan Khatib, one of the lawyers of the Palestinian Ministry of Detainees, visited two wounded Palestinian political prisoners, held by Israel, who testified to her how the soldiers assaulted them after arresting them.
Khatib met detainees Murad Abu Hamdiyya, 30 years of age, and Odai Abdul-Raouf Seif, 23, currently receiving treatment at the Ramla Israeli Hospital.
Abu Hamdiyya told Khatib that, on January 21 2014, soldiers surrounded his home, and opened fire at him without a warning, wounding him in his left thigh.
“On January 21 2014, soldiers surrounded my home, and invaded it; without a warning they started firing, they shot me in my left leg, and I fell to the ground”, he said, “I laid still, but the soldiers dragged me… I was bleeding, and they then released their dogs on me, the dogs bit me in the thigh…”
The soldiers also attacked Abu Hamdiyya, and started beating him all over his body, causing various cuts and bruises.
They then placed him in their jeep; a soldier sat on his wounded leg, while another soldier took pictures.
Abu Hamdiyya was then moved to a hospital where he underwent surgery that required installing a rod. He remained hospitalized at the Hadassah Israeli hospital in Jerusalem for six days. Soldiers were posted on his door, and he remained cuffed to his bed. He was later moved to the Ramla hospital.
The second wounded detainees, Saif, said that on February 7th, as he was heading back home from work, he was then attacked by a group of settlers near the central West Bank city of Ramallah.
The settlers beat him, kicked and punched him to various parts of his body; he suffered a dislocated shoulder, and was bleeding from his head as well as other parts of his body.
“Israel soldiers arrived at the scene, and took me away from the settlers”, he said, “But then, the soldiers started beating me and took me to their base”.
Saif was moved to the Ramla Hospital, and is currently receiving treatment; he still suffered with intense pain in his chest, shoulder and head.

Human rights lawyers want the police to launch a criminal probe on suspicion that various purchases have been forged.
The real estate purchasing arm of Amana, a cooperative that builds houses in West Bank settlements, bought parts of a disputed area in the Beit El settlement from a man who had died years before, local Palestinians say.
The allegation is detailed in documents sent to the police in a request to investigate the purchasing arm, Al-Watan. In the summer of 2012, five buildings in Beit El’s Ulpana neighborhood were demolished following a petition to the High Court of Justice by Palestinians who owned the two lots at the site.
Last week Israeli army radio reported that Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon had given Al-Watan a permit to register parts of one of the lots under its name.
Al-Watan’s main owner is an Amana subsidiary, Binyanei Bar Amana. Al-Watan seeks to buy land in settlements where High Court petitions by Palestinians are pending; this would obviate the need to evacuate those lands. Al-Watan’s directors are Ze’ev “ Zambish” Hever, a longtime leader of the settlement enterprise, Amana’s treasurer Moshe Yogev, and an Amana employee, Hananya Nahliel.
Hever declined to comment for this article. Al-Watan has claimed that it bought a Palestinian house on the outskirts of the settlement of Ofra, but the district court ruled that the deal was forged. Al-Watan also says it bought land at Giv’at Asaf, Amona and Migron. All of these transactions are being investigated by the police.
Regarding the Ulpana neighborhood, documents submitted by attorneys Michael Sfard and Shlomi Zacharia, who are representing the petitioners for human rights group Yesh Din, raise questions on the legitimacy of the Al-Watan purchases. In January last year, a front man allegedly bought the land on which Ulpana sits from its Palestinians owners. A few months later the man allegedly passed the land on to Al-Watan.
But according to the documents submitted by Sfard and Zacharia, the man stipulated had died years before. In June, the man allegedly bought land in another part of Ulpana, from a different Palestinian. But according to the documents, this Palestinian lives in Jordan and says no one ever approached him about the land. Sfard and Zacharia want the police to launch a criminal probe on suspicion the purchases were forged.
This is not the first time Amana and its subsidiaries have claimed ownership of land in the Ulpana neighborhood. Amana has said that in 2000 it bought land at the site, but after the police determined that the purchase was fraudulent, the land was not transferred to Amana’s name. In 2011, Amana claimed in district court that it owned a lot in Ulpana, in an effort to obstruct the evacuation of the neighborhood. The court rejected the claim.

Zeev (Zambish) Hever, head of Amana
حركة غوش إمونيم الإرهابية تعقد صفقة كاذبة مع فلسطيني متوفي؟؟
Jewish Terrorist Group Fraudulently Bought Land From Dead Palestinian
Haaretz, Israeli newspaper reported today Sunday Feb. 16 2013 that the real estate purchasing arm of Amana, the organization behind illegal West Bank outpost construction headed by a jewish terrorist Zeev (Zambish) Hever from the terrorist group Gush Emunim, bought parts of a disputed area in the Beit El settlement in 2013 from a Palestinian man who has been dead for years.
The current housing and construction minister, Uri Ariel, was Amana’s general secretary in the 1980s.
The allegation is detailed in documents sent to the police in a request to investigate the purchasing arm, Al-Watan.

In 2011, Amana claimed in district court that it owned a lot in Ulpana, in an effort to obstruct the evacuation of the neighborhood. The court rejected the claim.
Amana was founded in 1978 as the settlement movement of Gush Emunim. It is registered as a cooperative society, located on Paran Street in Jerusalem’s Ramat Eshkol neighborhood. The current housing and construction minister, Uri Ariel, was Amana’s general secretary in the 1980s.
The organization’s activity is conducted largely through a subsidiary, Binyanei Bar Amana. According to the division between the two, Amana plans and initiates the construction projects, wields political connections and obtains authorizations or devises means to sidestep the law; Binyanei Bar Amana does the actual construction. Almost all of that construction takes place in the West Bank. With the exception of isolated villages – such as Bar Yohai and Or Haganuz in Galilee, and communities for former residents of Gush Katif (the evacuated Gaza Strip settlement bloc) – all of Amana’s construction is being done across the Green Line. Hever became the society’s general secretary in 1989.
Hever, whose original name was Friedman, was born in Ramat Gan and joined Gush Emunim at a young age. In the 1970s, he was secretary of the regional council of Kiryat Arba, an urban settlement abutting on Hebron. As a member of the Jewish terrorist organization, he tried to place a bomb in the car of Dr. Ahmed Natshe, a political figure in Hebron. A barking dog frightened Hever and his accomplices, however, and they hid the bomb. It was discovered later on and became one of the clues that enabled the Shin Bet security service to uncover the Jewish Underground. Hever was arrested in 1984 and sentenced to 11 months in prison. Like all the refugees of the Underground, he moved towards the center in the wake of his experience. As a young man, Hever held extremely radical views about the Arabs but after his prison term, he abandoned the path of violence and embarked on a career as a functionary with close ties to the authorities.
About a year after Hever became Amana’s general secretary, Ariel Sharon was appointed housing minister (in the government of Yitzhak Shamir). The Sharon-Hever alignment paid off for the settlements, which underwent a building boom in this period (1990-1992). Sharon, given a free hand to build housing for the large influx of immigrants from the former Soviet Union, used the opportunity to beef up the settlements as well. He and Hever found a common language: both viewed themselves as men of action who had nothing but scorn for officials, bureaucrats, legal experts and the like.
Under Sharon’s stewardship, Amana engaged in a major building drive, which would make the settlements an irreversible fact of life. The warm relationship between Sharon and Hever was unbroken. Even during the 2005 disengagement from Gaza, when the settlers felt that Prime Minister Sharon had stabbed them in the back, Hever alone remained in constant touch with him. He told friends that his approach was: Whatever can be attained, can be; and what cannot, cannot.
مستوطنون حركة غوش إمونيم الأرهابية تعقد صفقة كاذبة مع فلسطيني متوفي؟؟
كشفت صحيفة “هآرتس” في عددها الصادر اليوم الاحد ان الصفقة التي عقدتها شركة “الوطن” التابعة لحركة “آمان” الاستيطانية حول شراء قطعة ارض من حي “الاولبانا” في مستوطنة “بيت ايل” عام 2013 تم عقدها مع شخص متوفى قبل عدة سنوات من تاريخ عقد الصفقة
واضافت الصحيفة ان الكشف عن هذه القضية تبين بعد ان تم التقدّم بشكوى امام الشرطة من قبل منظمة “يش دين” لفحص ممارسات شركة وطن في الضفة
يشار الى انه تم هدم 5 مباني شمال “بيت ايل” والتي كانت مقامة على قطع ارض خاصة للمواطنين برام الله، والذين التمسوا امام المحكمة العليا بطلب لهدم هذه المباني؛ الا انه في الاسبوع الماضي عُلم ان وزير الجيش اعطى الاذن للشركة لتسجيل قطعة من بين هذه القطع على اسمها
وافادت الصحيفة ان الوثائق التي تقدم بها الملتمسون اظهرت علامات استفهام حول الصفقة المذكورة، فقد اظهرت ان شخصاً وسيطاً “اشترى” عام 2013 قطعة الارض التي اقيم عليها حي “الاولبانا” من شخص فلسطيني، ونقل الوسيط بعد عدة اشهر هذه الملكية الى شركة “الوطن ” الاستيطانية، الا ان الوثائق التي تقدّم بها الملتمسون اثبتت ان الشخص “البائع” متوفى قبل عدة سنوات من تاريخ البيع، حسب الصحيفة
كما تبين ايضاً ان وسيطاً آخر اشترى قطعة ارض اخرى في حي “الاولبانا” الا ان محامي الملتمسين اثبتوا ان الشخص “البائع” مقيم في الاردن مؤكدا ان احداً لم يتوجه اليه لشراء الارض. وكان المحامون تقدموا الى الشرطة بشكوى للتحقيق في ممارسات شركة “الوطن” للاشتباه بعملية تزوير
يشار الى ان الشركة كانت ادّعت في الماضي شراء قطعة ارض في مستوطنة عوفرا من شخص فلسطيني الا ان هذه الادعاءات تم دحضها من قبل المحكمة المركزية الاسرائيلية التي قررت ان الوثائق مزّيفة

Under Sharon’s stewardship, Amana engaged in a major building drive, which would make the settlements an irreversible fact of life. The warm relationship between Sharon and Hever was unbroken. Even during the 2005 disengagement from Gaza, when the settlers felt that Prime Minister Sharon had stabbed them in the back, Hever alone remained in constant touch with him. He told friends that his approach was: Whatever can be attained, can be; and what cannot, cannot.
مستوطنون حركة غوش إمونيم الأرهابية تعقد صفقة كاذبة مع فلسطيني متوفي؟؟
كشفت صحيفة “هآرتس” في عددها الصادر اليوم الاحد ان الصفقة التي عقدتها شركة “الوطن” التابعة لحركة “آمان” الاستيطانية حول شراء قطعة ارض من حي “الاولبانا” في مستوطنة “بيت ايل” عام 2013 تم عقدها مع شخص متوفى قبل عدة سنوات من تاريخ عقد الصفقة
واضافت الصحيفة ان الكشف عن هذه القضية تبين بعد ان تم التقدّم بشكوى امام الشرطة من قبل منظمة “يش دين” لفحص ممارسات شركة وطن في الضفة
يشار الى انه تم هدم 5 مباني شمال “بيت ايل” والتي كانت مقامة على قطع ارض خاصة للمواطنين برام الله، والذين التمسوا امام المحكمة العليا بطلب لهدم هذه المباني؛ الا انه في الاسبوع الماضي عُلم ان وزير الجيش اعطى الاذن للشركة لتسجيل قطعة من بين هذه القطع على اسمها
وافادت الصحيفة ان الوثائق التي تقدم بها الملتمسون اظهرت علامات استفهام حول الصفقة المذكورة، فقد اظهرت ان شخصاً وسيطاً “اشترى” عام 2013 قطعة الارض التي اقيم عليها حي “الاولبانا” من شخص فلسطيني، ونقل الوسيط بعد عدة اشهر هذه الملكية الى شركة “الوطن ” الاستيطانية، الا ان الوثائق التي تقدّم بها الملتمسون اثبتت ان الشخص “البائع” متوفى قبل عدة سنوات من تاريخ البيع، حسب الصحيفة
كما تبين ايضاً ان وسيطاً آخر اشترى قطعة ارض اخرى في حي “الاولبانا” الا ان محامي الملتمسين اثبتوا ان الشخص “البائع” مقيم في الاردن مؤكدا ان احداً لم يتوجه اليه لشراء الارض. وكان المحامون تقدموا الى الشرطة بشكوى للتحقيق في ممارسات شركة “الوطن” للاشتباه بعملية تزوير
يشار الى ان الشركة كانت ادّعت في الماضي شراء قطعة ارض في مستوطنة عوفرا من شخص فلسطيني الا ان هذه الادعاءات تم دحضها من قبل المحكمة المركزية الاسرائيلية التي قررت ان الوثائق مزّيفة

Israeli forces prevented, Saturday, anti-settlement activists from planting olive saplings in the villages located to the east of Yatta, in the Hebron district, according to a local official.
Activists from the Popular Campaign against the Wall and Settlements, as well as the Palestinian Farmers Union, were prevented from planting olive saplings in Sussiya and nearby areas, according to Jihad Nawajeh, head of the Sussiya local council.
He told WAFA that, even though the Israeli military has declared the area a close military zone to prevent farmers and land owners from reaching their land, the anti-settlement activists have succeeded in reaching the land, after getting into a fist fight with the settlers, who tried to force them out of the land.
Nawajeh said that they would continue to plant olive saplings in lands threatened with confiscation by settlers, who regularly cut trees and steal Palestinian land in order to expand illegal settlements.

Right wing Israelis march from the Jewish settlement of Maale Adumim to the controversial West Bank area known as E1, on Feb. 13, 2014
Thousands of young Israeli hardliners marched on Thursday to demand the government build new settler homes in E1, a highly sensitive strip of West Bank land near Jerusalem.
Police said more than 6,000 people, including major Israeli political figures but composed mostly of teenagers, joined the march which began in Maale Adumim settlement in the occupied West Bank and ended at E1 -- an undeveloped stretch of land just to the west, which borders annexed East Jerusalem.
"Kerry = persona non grata," read one of the signs, referring to US Secretary of State John Kerry, who is currently trying to coax Israel and the Palestinians towards a peace agreement.
Israel has been planning construction in E1 since the early 1990s but nothing has ever been built there due to heavy international pressure. Plans for building 1,200 units unveiled in December 2012 were quickly put on the back burner after the announcement triggered a major diplomatic backlash.
The Palestinians say construction in E1 would effectively cut the West Bank in two and prevent the creation of a contiguous Palestinian state.
"We will keep (the) promise to build in E1," Housing Minister Uri Ariel told a crowd composed almost entirely of high-schoolers.
Last April, Ariel, who belongs to the far-right national religious Jewish Home party, pledged to build new apartments in E1 within 18 months.
The demonstration came hours after a Palestinian protest on the site in opposition to Israeli settlement construction in E1. That protest was held in anticipation of the Israeli right wing protest, and Israeli forces detained one activist during the demonstration.
In January 2013, a group of more than 200 Palestinian activists had set up a protest encampment called Bab al-Shams in E1 as a way of drawing attention to Israel's plans to settle there.
Israel and Palestinians began a nine-month track of direct peace talks at Kerry's urging in July 2013, but there has been little visible sign of progress.
Kerry, who has repeatedly come under fire from Israeli hardliners in recent weeks, is currently focusing his efforts on hammering out a framework agreement which would allow for the talks to be extended, likely until the end of the year.
In late 2012, the Israeli government announced plans to build hundreds of settler homes in the E1 corridor after Palestine was granted non-member observer state status at the United Nations. Those plans were later frozen, but never completely shelved.
Israeli settlement construction in E1 would divide the West Bank in two and make the creation of a contiguous Palestinian state -- as envisaged by the internationally backed two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict -- virtually impossible.

Dozens of settlers in recent months have installed cameras on their vehicles' license-plates in order to capture Palestinians and record the shooting and incidents of throwing stones or Molotov cocktails in a West Bank road, Maariv reported.
Maariv added that recently these cameras helped the IOF to capture a group of Palestinians who were throwing stones in the village of Azzun in Qalqiliya.
There has been a decline in the number of incidents in recent weeks, due to the arrest of the stone-throwers who began throwing stones at passing vehicles, Maariv claimed.

Several Israeli settlement associations are planning to break into the village of Bab Shams on Thursday. Member of the Revolutionary Council of Fatah Dimitri Daliani said in a statement on Wednesday that "the occupation army, which has forcibly evacuated the village of its inhabitants early last year, will protect the Knesset members and the Jewish terror groups accompanying them during this incursion."
He warned that the success of the settlers in storming the village, which has been set up by Palestinian activists in the region E1, would be followed by the establishment of a new settlement that will cut the territorial contiguity between the north and the south of West Bank, which would change the demographic situation in Jerusalem.
Daliani also stressed that the participation of MKs in this incursion proves that "the occupation state rejects peace and stability in the region."
