Tony Blair's Sister-in-Law on Arrest of a Gaza Activist

2008-10-06T12:36:20Z

Afshin Rattansi talks to Lauren Booth, broadcaster and journalist after the arrest of Professor Jeff Halper.

Minnesota-born Halper, an Anthropology lecturer from Ben Gurion University who also chairs the Israeli Committee against House Demolitions, was among dozens of international activists who sailed from Cyprus over the weekend in an attempt to break an Israeli naval blockade of the coastal enclave.

Halper was arrested after he passed through the Erez crossing back into Israel, since he had violated a military order prohibiting Jewish civilians from entering Gaza that was legislated pursuant to the Disengagement in 2005. Police originally thought to release Halper conditionally following preliminary questioning, but apparently decided to keep him in lock-up overnight.

A Hamas Ceasfire? Fawzi Barhoum grilled by Afshin Rattansi

2008-07-25T19:31:39Z

AMMAN, March 11--Palestinian Authority chief Mahmud Abbas says that the Israeli occupying regime and the resistance movement Hamas are "agreed in principle" on a truce that will end the crisis in the occupied territories.

The Israeli regime and Hamas appeared Monday to be abiding by a tacit agreement to hold fire in and around the Gaza Strip, amid Egyptian efforts to secure a broader truce deal after a bloody explosion of violence there.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh appreciated "what Egypt is undertaking".

He said Hamas "will help the Egyptian leadership to reach a reciprocal and simultaneous truce that will at the same time lead to the lifting of the blockade imposed on the Palestinian people".

After talks with Jordan's King Abdullah II in Amman, Abbas said: "Hamas also wants to protect its leaders and those of Islamic Jihad from the Israelis, and I think Israel agrees on that or has already agreed."

"With the developments in Egypt, I think there is an agreement in principle on that and a deal might be reached in the coming few days," Abbas said in a statement.

Blackwater unlikely to face charges in Iraq shooting
The Associated PressPublished: May 9, 2008
WASHINGTON: Blackwater Worldwide, the security contractor blamed by an angry Iraqi government for the shooting deaths of 17 civilians, is not expected to face criminal charges — all but ensuring the company will keep its multimillion-dollar contract to protect U.S. diplomats.

Instead, the seven-month-old Justice Department investigation is focused on as few as three or four Blackwater guards who could be indicted in the Sept. 16 shootings, according to interviews with a half-dozen people close to the investigation.

(CBS) Israeli warplanes have conducted what U.S. intelligence analysts say was a dress rehearsal for a strike against Iran's nuclear facilities - ominous action backed up by ominous words from Israel's ambassador to the U.S. "We cannot take this threat lightly and as our prime minister recently said Israel will not tolerate a nuclear Iran," Sallai Meridor told CBS News national security correspondent David Martin. The exercise took place on June 2 over the eastern Mediterranean. According to CBS consultant Michael Oren, nearly 100 aircraft flew the 900-mile ranges needed to hit targets in Iran.

Israel's Longest Serving Prisoner to be Released - Hizbullah

Afshin Rattansi covers the story.
BEIRUT, July 2 (Reuters) - Lebanon's Hezbollah said on Wednesday it had agreed to a U.N.-mediated deal to exchange prisoners with Israel and expected the swap to take place around the middle of this month.

"I officially announce that we accept this deal," Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the guerrilla group's leader, said during a televised news conference.

He expected the swap to take place around July 15 or "a little before or a little after". "I think in one to two weeks the issue will be completed."
