Israel Proposes Shorter Fence Route
(Ha'aretz) Aluf Benn, Nathan Guttman, and Sharon Sadeh - Israel has submitted to the U.S. government a proposed revised route of the separation fence that is "more logical and shorter," Israeli officials said this weekend. Sources said the main revisions involve canceling "fingers" that would have included Kedumim, Emmanuel, and Karnei Shomron. The revisions also scale-down plans for the fence in the Beit Aryeh enclave, near Ben-Gurion International Airport. The purpose of the changes is to minimize the number of Palestinians located within fenced-off areas.
