The Amer family live in the West Bank, in a house completely surrounded by Israeli fences and the Wall. The family is left imprisoned and struggling to adjust to an impossible reality.
In 2003 the Israeli government started building a Security Barrier between Israel and the Palestinian territories in the West Bank. But for various reasons, the Amer's home was completely surrounded and isolated, neither in Israel or Palestine. We used to be able to see our neighbours and have a normal life
. Even in paradise one cannot live without people. After the family appeals to human rights organisations, the Israeli army offers to open a private gate. Father, Hani is given a key but told that if anyone else uses it, the house will be demolished. The family's deteriorating reality causes tensions to grow and youngest son Shadad starts to disappear from the house.

#i24NEWS #westbank #middleeastpeaceplan
i24NEWS DESK | The IDF announced Wednesday it was bolstering security presence in the West Bank and on the border with Gaza.
Following the ongoing situation assessment, it has been decided to reinforce the Judea and Samaria and Gaza Divisions with additional combat troops, the army said, referring to the West Bank in its historic Jewish connotation.
The move was explained by the prospect of increasing tensions in the wake of the release of the Trump administration's long-anticipated peace plan.
The plan, dubbed Deal of the Century, was rejected by the Palestinian factions even ahead of the release, and after the unveiling, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas reaffirmed it with a thousand no's.
Protests flared up in the West Bank and Gaza on Tuesday and Wednesday as Palestinians raged against the plan.
Tuesday also saw Defense Minister Naftali Bennet and Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi instruct the IDF to brace for an immediate escalation as Palestinian factions were fuming against the deal.
The IDF bolstered its forces in Jordan Valley ahead of the plan's release as well, anticipating that the Deal of the Century would not go down too well in Ramakkah and Gaza.
Israel Locks Ramallah Down After Two Soldiers Killed
From:
December 14, 2018 - The Israeli military has locked down the West Bank city of Ramallah after a spate of killings in the occupied territories. Israeli forces have raided the city and sealed off all its entrances and exits. Regime troops have also entered multiple Palestinian neighborhoods in the region. Clashes broke out in various spots late on Thursday. At least six people, including two Israeli soldiers have been killed in the West Bank over the past 24 hours. In response to the soldier’s deaths, the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has vowed to legalize thousands of settler units in the West Bank. All Israeli settlements are illegal under international law.

The Israel-Palestine conflict: a brief, simple history
The conflict is really only 100 years old.
Subscribe to our channel!
One of the biggest myths about the Israel-Palestine conflict is that it's been going on for centuries, that this is all about ancient religious hatreds.
In fact, while religion is involved, the conflict is mostly about two groups of people who claim the same land. And it really only goes back about a century, to the early 1900s. At its heart, it is a conflict between two self-determination movements — the Jewish Zionist project and the Palestinian nationalist project — that lay claim to the same territory.

Seeking Recognition: Palestine. Everyday struggle to get back control of their territories
SUBSCRIBE TO RTD Channel to get documentaries firsthand!
Daily life in Palestine revolves around a never-ending fight for control of the occupied territories. At the United Nations, Palestine has non-member 'observer status', but successive wars and building illegal settlements has given Israel the upper hand over the land that Palestinians claim is theirs.
RTD looks back at the events which led to today's stalemate and meets the people who are pushing back every day. A Bedouin shepherd who won’t back down in a dispute over water rights for his sheep. A Jericho school teacher who passes on the dream of Palestinian statehood to the next generation. A Bethlehem businessman exporting high-quality stone and Bashar Masri, a billionaire building the new town of Rawabi to give fellow Palestinians something to aspire to. Can day-to-day resistance ever turn the tide in their favour?

State of Palestine: Clashes erupt after deadly stabbing at Israeli settlement leads to raids
After three Israelis were killed at the Israeli settlement of Halamish in occupied Palestinian territory in the West Bank, Israeli forces raided and locked down the nearby hometown of the suspected assailant, leading to clashes in the village of Kobar.
According to local sources, Israeli forces shut down the village in an early morning raid, reportedly preventing residents from entering or leaving the site. The suspect's brother was detained. Bulldozers with an army escort later arrived at the village, with locals, angered by the raids and fearing demolition of local infrastructure, throwing rocks at the Israeli forces vehicles.

Palestinians in Ramallah show support for Yarmuk refugees
Palestinians rallied Sunday in the West Bank city of Ramallah in support of thousands of fellow Palestinians trapped in Syria's Yarmuk camp, which has been largely overrun by jihadist fighters.
Mustafa Barghuti, Palestinian MP, member of the PLO’s Central Council: The most important thing that we are here gathering to protest the massacres in Yarmuk camp at the hands of Daesh (Islamic State group) and other terrorist groups, to demand immediate Palestinian unity to confront this terrible attack on Palestinians, and to protect our people. But the conclusion we are making is that without us being able to protect our own people, nobody is going to protect us.
The most important lesson we should learn is that we have to be self-reliant. We can not rely on anybody, on any state or on any government.
Palestine Underground | Hip Hop, Trap and Techno Documentary Featuring Sama' | Boiler Room
► Palestine Underground by Boiler Room, 4:3 and Ma3azef documents the resilience of a burgeoning music scene undeterred and fuelled by political restrictions, building bridges through a shared sound and identity.
For the past ten years, Palestinian music collective Jazar Crew have been fostering a vibrant party scene in Haifa, as an alternative to the mainstream club scene in Israel.
Thanks to the internet, they've connected with artists in Ramallah, Palestine, and defied the separation wall to travel to the West Bank and organise events with Techno DJs Sama' and Oddz, and members of the tantalising hip hop and trap scene, the collectives Saleb Wahad and Bltnm.
Palestine Underground follows a week in the life of these artists and friends, in the lead up to the first Boiler Room in Ramallah in June this year.

Life in The Holy Land (Israel-Palestine Documentary) | Real Stories
Half a million Israeli settlers live within the Palestinian territories forming the main barrier to a two-state solution. They do not see themselves as colonists or invaders, but rather pioneers. Some see themselves as the vanguard that will welcome the arrival of the Messiahs to the lands of Abraham, and others consider themselves a barrier against Islamic extremism. Many however, live in the colonies because the houses are cheaper.
Living at the ground zero of our ages defining conflict however takes its toll as we see both sides locked in every day conflict and mutual mistrust that permeates every waking minute, and is the prism through which their identity is defined. We travel to this committed and obstinate world, a community suspicious of foreigners and the International press, and that welcomes isolation. They are convinced that anti Semitism govern the world, and that this land was promised to them.

State of Palestine: Grief and protest at prisoner's cancer death
Flag-waving children clamour in the streets of Ramallah with pictures of Maysara Abu Hamdiya, a Palestinian prisoner who died of throat cancer hours earlier. Hamdiya, 64, died in a Southern Israel hospital two months after being diagnosed with cancer and refused treatment.
Hamdiya, a retired general in the Palestinian Authority security forces, was detained in 2002 at the height of the five year Second Palestinian Intifada, or uprising. He was serving a life sentence for sending a suicide bomber into a cafe in Israel's disputed capital, Jerusalem. The bomb failed to detonate.
Hamdiya had been suffering severe throat pain since August, said a Palestinian Authority report. Palestinian officials slammed Israel for delaying his treatment by procrastinating on the prisoner's early release. Tensions have soared over the death, with protests erupting across occupied West Bank territories of Hebron, Nablus and Ramallah and to Israel's west in the land-locked Gaza Strip.
Ietidal Abu Hamdieh, the deceased prisoner's sister said, They [heads of prisoners groups] said that the Israeli authorities wanted to free him, as they knew my brother Maysara didn't have long to live. But if they really wanted to release him from prison, they would have done it earlier, as he revealed his disease.
Hamdieh is the second Palestinian prisoner to die in Israeli prisoner this year. Arafat Jaradat, another Palestinian prisoner also died in Israeli jail in February amidst allegations of torture by Palestinian official, charges which Israel denied.
Seeking Recognition: Palestine. Everyday struggle to get back control of their territories (Trailer)
Premiere 08/07
Daily life for Palestinians is about fighting back against Israel for control of their territory. Palestine has non-member state observer status at the UN, but since 1948, its land has been eaten up by a series of wars and the establishment of illegal Israeli settlements.
RTD takes you back in time to understand how Palestinians became strangers in their own land, and on a journey through the towns of the West Bank and Gaza, where locals find creative ways to resist Israel’s control over daily life.
Mahmoud Aloul is the number 2 of Fatah, the party which rules the West Bank: he talks about his people’s dream of taking back Jerusalem. A young cadet explains why she joined the Palestinian military, set up to defend the land. For the Nassar brothers, getting Israeli permission to mine a stone quarry in Bethlehem is a giant step towards proving Palestinian professionalism to the world. Billionaire Bashar Masri is building the new town of Rawabi to demonstrate to fellow Palestinians that they can look forward to a better future. All are small gestures, but will they help to break the deadlock in this semi-independent and largely unrecognised state?

Israeli-Palestinian conflict is locked in a dangerous paralysis - Security-Council Briefing
Briefing by Ms. Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs.
Palestine: Gaza Strip Humanitarian Situation Deteriorated in 2018 - Security Council Briefing
Statement by Ms. Ursula Mueller, Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator, on the situation in the Middle East (including the Palestinian question).
UN Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator Ursula Mueller the situation in the occupied Palestinian territory at its core “remains a protection crisis.” She said, “Violations of international humanitarian and human rights law are a key driver of high levels of acute vulnerability among Palestinians. The international community is mobilizing to provide assistance, but funding is diminishing while needs and constraints continue to grow. Ultimately, the solution is not humanitarian.”
Mueller told the Council that overall, the humanitarian situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, particularly in the Gaza Strip, has deteriorated in 2018. This included an increase in casualties associated with the demonstrations at the Gaza fence, limitations on the movement of people and goods and financial restrictions.
Palestinian ambassador Riyad Mansour told reporters outside the Council that his country would continue pushing for a two-state solution, adding that there was almost full international consensus on this solution. He asked what “is the advantage to the Palestinian people and their friends to start walking away from this global consensus and entertain new ideas; and to begin the process of building something different than the thing that we invested, we and the international community; tens of years until we reached that moment.”
Mansour said that Palestine could become a full Member of the UN even before the occupation ended if the veto by the United States was removed adding that Palestine had the backing of the majority of the international community for its bid.
Asked about the presence of some Arab nations along side Israel in the Warsaw Conference and whether this was seen as a move away from the Arab Peace Initiative which calls for normalizing ties with Israel only after a peace deal is reached, Arab League ambassador Maged Abdelfattah Abdelaziz said, “It is true that the Warsaw conference was attended by a number of countries. Some countries attended at a certain level, others attended at a different level. Some tried cast a shade of normalization or trying to show some sitting next to others or some talking to others, to try to create a picture that there is normalization going on in secret. However, this is, in our view from the Arab League and the resolutions and decisions taken at the summit and ministerial levels at the Arab League, is inconsistent with the official Arab stance. The official Arab stance is to hold on to the guiding principles to the peace process.”
Palestine: Days of Rage - Clashes in East Jerusalem
For the 2nd day running there were confrontations between Palestinians and Israeli authorities in East Jerusalem. This part of the occupied territories is particularly sensitive as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and Israelis have shared the eastern city. Iolo Ap Dafydd reports.

STORYLINE:
Palestinian children in the West Bank town of Hebron gathered on Wednesday to paint banners in support of residents of the Gaza Strip facing the Israeli military offensive there.
And in Ramallah, residents took to the streets, waving banners and shouting slogans, to protest against the ongoing Israeli action.
The Israeli onslaught on Hamas militants and the Gazan population has killed more than 670 Palestinians, of which 300 are civilians, according to Palestinian and UN figures.
Of those killed, at least 130 are children age 16 and under, says the Gaza-based Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, which tracks casualties.
Israel has lost six soldiers since launching a ground offensive on Saturday - four of them in friendly fire incidents - and four other Israelis have been killed by rocket fire, three of them civilians.
Israel's military suspended its Gaza offensive for three hours on Wednesday afternoon to allow aid and fuel into the embattled Palestinian territory.
Meanwhile, in latest developments, an Israeli government spokesman said Israel welcomes a proposal from France and Egypt to end the fighting in the Gaza Strip.
Mark Regev said Israel could accept the proposal if it halted hostile fire from Gaza and included measures to prevent Hamas from rearming.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Wednesday that Israel and the Palestinian Authority accepted the proposal, but Israeli officials would not confirm that.
The precise details of the proposal remain unclear.

How Israel Subsidizes 'Ambassadors to State of Palestine'
NEWS DESK | While Israel fights the Palestinian bid for recognition of a Palestinian state, the bizarre story of how Israel is subsidizing diplomats who present themselves as ambassadors or representatives to the 'State of Palestine.' Evidence has been uncovered in a worldwide freedom of information campaign. Our Eylon Levy has the story.
Story:
The Palestinian Authority proudly lobbies for international recognition of the ’State of Palestine.’
A Brazilian representative in Ramallah presented credentials as Brazil’s Representative to the State of Palestine. A transcript has been obtained by i24news in a worldwide freedom of information campaign. Mr. de Holanda is also part of the Brazilian Embassy in Tel Aviv, according to Israel’s Foreign Ministry.
This entitles him to the perks given to diplomats in Israel — all at the expense of the Israeli taxpayer.
‘The Israeli government should not recognize, let alone fund so-called ambassadors to the PA,’ Israeli lawmaker Yair Lapid said. They must be recalled told that ‘we are not allowing this to happen because it’s a) illegal, and b) immoral and just false,’ he explained.
Brazil is just one example of a few. Uruguay, Chile, South Africa and Sri Lanka a few more among others.
How did this happen? While Israel fought the Palestinians bid for recognition abroad, it turned a blind-eye at home. In 1993, Israel signed The Oslo Accords with the PLO, later agreeing in Oslo II: that the Palestinian Authority could host representative offices, with the exception that there are no embassies allowed in the West Bank and no accepting ambassadors.
