U.N. Commission: Israel Establishing Permanent Control in Gaza and Jewish Majority in West Bank
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.N. Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory
says Israel is looking to establish permanent control in Gaza and
establish a Jewish majority in the occupied West Bank. The report is set
to be presented next month to the U.N. General Assembly. In a statement,
Navi Pillay, the head of the commission, said Israeli actions had
"deepened the misery of the Palestinian people and deprived them of
resources indispensable for their survival, including the capacity to
produce food."
