Restrictions on Palestinians eased
Israel eased restrictions on Palestinian movement.
Israel’s Defense Ministry announced Sunday that new permits to work in Israel would be issued to 8,000 Palestinians from the West Bank and 2,000 from the Gaza Strip. Another 13,000 travel permits were issued to Palestinian merchants and hotel staff who work in Jerusalem. The action to relieve restrictions that had been tightened since the Oct. 26 suicide bombing in Hadera came following intelligence reports of reduced terrorist threats, security sources said.
China to build ‘Jewish neighborhood’
China may build a “Jewish neighborhood” in Shanghai, Chinese media reported.
The district would be modeled after the area that was home to thousands of Jews who came to Shanghai as refugees during World War II. Kosher restaurants and clubs could help make the district a tourist attraction, Chinese officials hope.
