Report: Palestinian textbooks portray Jews badly
Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English
The Israeli Supreme Court has called on the government to reconsider its almost total ban on Palestinian students leaving the Gaza Strip to study abroad. (article 1) Israel tightened its blockade of Gaza after Hamas seized power there a year ago, largely cutting off the territory from the outside world. (article 1) Israel and Hamas may be inching toward a cease-fire that would end attacks by both sides and, perhaps, loosen the siege imposed on the impoverished Gaza Strip. (article 4) The factions in Lebanon, after a long period of institutional paralysis and a near civil war, have reached a tentative political agreement. (article 4) Gaza - a tiny fenced-in territory whose 1.4 million inhabitants are not free to come and go - has become a morass of contradictions. (article 3) Gaza militants launch rockets at southern Israel almost daily, and Israel targets Gaza with airstrikes, land incursions and deadly missiles said to be fired from unmanned drones. (article 3) Exiled Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal said his Palestinian Islamic fundamentalist group has put forward a list of 350 Palestinians it wants released from Israeli jails in exchange for Shalit, but he blamed Israel for the breakdown of talks. (article 5) She called the situation in Gaza "troubling" but added that the U.S. policy of isolating Hamas will remain in place. (article 5)
