Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

UN To Hold Session On Israeli Wall

HeadlineJul 14, 2004

Haaretz is reporting the United Nations will hold an emergency session on Friday to discuss last week’s International Court of Justice ruling that Israel was illegally building a 425-mile wall through the West Bank. Yesterday a draft resolution sponsored by the PLO mission began circulating at the UN. calling on Israel to abide by the ruling. Meanwhile Israeli Army mapmakers said they may reroute the wall by moving it closer to Israel. Israel said it was considering the changes not in response to the World Court ruling but to a recent domestic court ruling.
