"A new Middle East can follow the example of the European Union: political borders without economic divide. It is essential to end incitement and introduce a language of peace - in places of worship and in schools alike...
Great Britain can play a leading role in promoting this creation. It possesses an experience and intimate knowledge of the dividing and unifying factors in the region. It can link the region with the global modern economy. The world today is balanced between despair and hope."

Over 20 Kassam and Iranian-produced Grad rockets were fired at the western Negev and Ashkelon over the weekend, and 12 rockets on Monday (17 Nov). The Hamas terrorist organization and affiliated Palestinian terrorist groups have fired more than 170 rockets and mortars at Israel during the past 10 days.
Israel responds to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (Nov 18): Overall responsibility for the situation in the Gaza Strip lies with Hamas, which invests all of its resources in arms and terrorism instead of providing for the civilians that it brutally controls.

The new technique, developed by Prof. Abraham Katzir and a team from TAU's Applied Physics Group, is called laser-welding.
