Rubble deal sealed
The United Nations will help Israel and the Palestinian Authority dispose of rubble from razed Gaza Strip settlements.
Israeli sources said Thursday that the United Nations Development Program had agreed to oversee the transfer of a fifth of the waste produced from razing the 21 settlements to the Sinai Desert in Egypt, where it will be buried at Israel’s expense.
The rest of the rubble will be recycled for new construction in Gaza on behalf of the Palestinian Authority. Ma’ariv said that Egypt had insisted on U.N. involvement in the project, as it suspected that Israel otherwise might bury toxic waste in the Sinai.
Officials had no comment on the report.
Bomb suspect attempts suicide
A suspected Jewish terrorist attempted suicide in Israeli police custody.
Eliran Golan, who is accused of planting bombs intended for Israeli Arabs in the northern city of Haifa last year, tried to hang himself in his jail cell Thursday. He was hospitalized in critical condition.
Eliran’s lawyer had argued unsuccessfully that his client was psychologically impaired and unfit to stand trial.
