Israel: Concerns over Possible West Bank Violence

By Larry Habegger and Andrew Davis | Permalink | No Comments | July 5th, 2011 | Trackback

Israel’s military is preparing for an outbreak of violence around the West Bank over the U.N. vote in September on Palestinian recognition as a state. Israeli reservists have been mobilized—a rare step that underscores the severity of the issue. The U.S. is expected to veto any resolution granting Palestine full membership in the U.N., which will most likely stoke anger in the region and lead to protests or other forms of dissent. Travelers planning to visit parts of the West Bank, including portions of Jerusalem, around the time of the vote in September should pay attention to security concerns and avoid large demonstrations.
