Press report: Itamar culprit an Asian worker
[ 14/03/2011 - 08:41 PM ] NABLUS, (PIC)-- An Asian worker is suspected of the murder of the Fogel family, a settler family from Itamar settlement near the northern West Bank city of Nablus, according to Palestinian press sources.
Quds Net news quoted local residents fro at infuriated with an Israeli settler for not paying him his wages carried out the killing of the settler's family in Itamar, Palestinian press sources reported.
Quds Net news agency on Monday quoted a Palestinian family from Awarta village next to the settlement as saying that Mr. Fogel refused to pay 10,000 shekels in wages which he owed an Asian worker he hired. The worker threatened to kill the settler and his family.
The worker is suspected of committing the crime after midnight Friday using a knife then fleeing the scene to nearby Palestinian villages, the report added.
It noted that the Israeli army knows of the information leading to the suspect but refuse to announce or deal with it for political as well as security reasons.
Speaking at an interview with radio Israel on Monday, Abbas pledged to extend all necessary assistance leading to unveiling the mystery of the crime, adding that he relayed this position to Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu in a telephone conversation on Saturday shortly after the crime was reported.
He also invited Israel and the USA to discuss with his authority in Ramallah the curriculums being studied in Palestinian schools in the West Bank to make sure that they do not contain any "incitement".
Abbas, however, failed to mention the Israeli settlers' unruly behavior and the army's collective punishment against Palestinian in Nablus villages following the crime despite the fact that no concrete evidence was found incriminating any Palestinian party in the act.
Yishai calls for retaliating to death of five settlers by expanding settlements
[ 14/03/2011 - 11:12 AM ]
NAZARETH, (PIC)-- Israel’s interior minister Eli Yishai called on his government to initiate the building of 5, 000 settlement units in the West Bank, 1, 000 for each one of the five settlers killed in Itamar settlement.Yishai stressed the need to intensify settlement expansion in the West Bank in light of what he described as the incitement against Israelis and the Palestinian calls for killing them.
He said that the Palestinian authority does not want peace and encourages murder while Israelis put their heads in the sand like ostriches.
Last Saturday morning, the Israeli media announced the death of five Jewish settlers in Itamar settlement near Nablus city, while Israeli officials hastened to accuse the Palestinians of killing them and incited settlers to avenge their death.
Some observers believe that Zionist official parties are behind what happened in Itamar settlement in order to justify pre-planned aggressive acts against the Palestinians in the occupied territories.
In a related incident, a large number of Israeli troops violently raided and ransacked Palestinian homes during the last two days in Awarta village of Nablus, and physically and verbally abused the villagers.
Local sources reported that the troops set up more than 15 military posts on the rooftops of houses in the village and prevented the citizens from leaving their homes.
They added that Israeli soldiers opened fire at water tanks on the rooftops amid racist slurs against Arabs.
Israeli soldiers reportedly beat Palestinian citizens when they break into houses and steal everything they can during the raids.

GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas has condemned the marked increase in harassment and arrests by the Palestinian Authority targeting Hamas supporters in the West Bank following the killing of five settlers in the illegal Itamar settlement three days ago.
The group said in a statement Sunday that the escalation contradicts with current talks of national reconciliation.
It said the escalation was a bid to eliminate the Gaza-governing movement and the ”protectors of the Palestinian project.”
”This exposes the falsity of Fatah's talks on reconciliation and claims to have suspended negotiations,” the statement says.
Hamas called on Fatah to end the arrest campaign and release Hamas's men detained in its prisons, and ”to respond to national and popular calls and efforts demanding reconciliation and an end to the split.”
