Israeli Police Raid Palestinian Protest Camp After Obama Leaves

HeadlineMar 25, 2013

Roughly a day after President Obama left Israel, Israeli police raided a Palestinian protest camp on the outskirts of Jerusalem. Protesters had erected the camp on Wednesday within the E1 settlement zone, which bisects the West Bank and cuts Palestinians off from their land. More than 200 Israeli officers leveled the camp before dawn on Sunday. Palestinian lawmaker Mustafa Barghouthi said he and four others were arrested. An earlier encampment on the same site was dismantled by Israeli forces in January.
