Reminder - 11 AM (Eastern) TODAY, Friday, February 28 - "Cutting off East Jerusalem from the West Bank" - Urgent Briefing call from Jerusalem with Danny Seidemann
Over the past week, Israeli authorities advanced three new settlement initiatives around East Jerusalem, which would cut it off from the West Bank and deny contiguity to a future Palestinian state. These initiatives come days before Israel's national elections and as a joint Israeli-American committee starts determining the status of West Bank settlements.
