• An Overview of the Geopolitical Situation in the Palestinian Areas

• Bypass Roads-The Israeli Approach Towards a New Apartheid Against Palestinians?
  Building Jewish colonies is usually compounded by the construction of a series of bypass roads.  These are built for the use of Israeli colonists to link colonies to each other and with Israel.
• They Cut Trees, Don't They? An Assessment of the Israeli Practices on the Palestinian Agricultural Sector
  Restrictive measures by the Israeli occupation authority against the Palestinian economy created numerous obstacles, which have further complicated and aggravated an already precarious situation.
