Palestine Today 090808 - mp3 2.7M



Arab officials continue to meet in the framework of their exerted efforts to solve the Palestinian question, and Israel’s police demands indicting the Israeli Prime Minister, these stories and more are coming up, stay tuned.

The newscast:

The Israeli authorities have recently prevented seven local Palestinian farmers of the West Bank city of Hebron, from working in their farm land. The Israeli military measures continue across the West Bank, as settlement activities go on over there.

In the meantime, Arab foreign ministers are expected to meet in Cairo today, in follow up of the Arab states summit of Damascus in March 2008. The ministers are going to be briefed by President Mahmoud Abbas on the latest developments of the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations.

The ruling Hamas party along with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in Gaza, have both issued statements, calling on the foreign ministers to take a firm decision towards ending the 14-month-old Israeli blockade on Gaza.

Earlier, the foreign ministers had declared Gaza as ' a traumatized zone'.

Meanwhile, John Ging, the Director of UNRWA operations in the Gaza Strip, described today the situation in Gaza as extremely harsh.

Ging blamed the suffering of the Gaza population for the ‘political conflict', saying “the ordinary people of Gaza pay the price for political conflict”.

UNRWA had recently granted $6M to the students of UNRWA schools in the Gaza Strip in order to help them buy stationary and supplies needed to start the new school year.

In Israel, the Israeli police submitted two charges of corruption against Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, to the Israeli Attorney General , Mennachem Mazuz, in order to indict the Premier.

Olmert is accused of bribery and money laundry among other issues. Israeli police has also recommended prosecutors to press charges against Olmert’s former business Partner Uri Messer.

Olmert is the first Israeli Prime Minister whom the state presses charges against while in office.
