Prime Minister Sharon commissioned the report in June 2004, largely in response to U.S. accusations that Israel was not keeping its promise to freeze settlement activity and dismantle illegal outposts in the West bank. The seven-month investigation——complicated by the dispersion of information among various government bodies and the stonewalling of many officials——was conducted by Talia Sasson, a former chief state prosecutor. Sasson also wrote the report (the ““Opinion Concerning Unauthorized Outposts””) and the fifty-page summary of the ““findings, conclusions, and recommendations”” from which the excerpts below are taken. Bolding, italicization, and underlining are as in the original. The full report and summary are available on the Web site of the Prime Minister's Office at www.pmo.gov.il.

The separation wall, one of the largest civil engineering projects in Israel's history, has been criticized even by the U.S. administration, with Condoleezza Rice stating at the end of June 2003 that it ““arouses our [U.S.] deep concern”” and President Bush on 25 July calling it ““a problem”” and noting that ““it is very difficult to develop confidence between the Palestinians and Israel with a wall snaking through the West Bank.”” A number of reports have already been issued concerning the wall, including reports by B'Tselem (available at www.btselem.org), the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (available at www.palestinianaid.info), and the World Bank's Local Aid Coordination Committee (LACC; also available at www.palestinianaid.info). UNRWA's report focuses on the segment of the wall already completed and is based on field visits to the areas affected by the barriers, with a special emphasis on localities with registered refugees. Notes have been omitted due to space constraints. The full report is available online at www.un.org/unrwa.

A full report of the excavations at Khartoum undertaken by the Sudan Government Antiquities Service in 1944–5 has recently been published. The present paper summarises the results of a subsequent excavation made by the same service at the early occupation site at Esh Shaheinab on the west bank of the Nile 30 miles north of Omdurman.Esh Shaheinab was chosen after study of numerous eroded occupation sites in Khartoum Province, because it appeared to be a one-period site, having a characteristic brown burnished and incised pottery with stone implements including gouges typical of Miss Caton-Thompson's Fayum Neolithic, and to have been less disturbed than other sites attributable to the same culture. Besides amply confirming the connection with the Fayum Neolithic, the new excavation made clear that the pottery characteristic of the site, which at first sight appeared to have nothing in common with the pottery of early Khartoum, except its brown colour and the fact that it is decorated with an incised pattern, is derived from that pottery. Other connections with the early Khartoum culture are recorded below, as well as four important novel features, viz:—bone axe-heads, shell fish-hooks, zeolite? lip-plugs and granite maceheads with flat tops.

This section covers items pertaining to Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. Significant developments during the quarter 16 November 2016 through 15 February 2017 include: in anticipation of changes to U.S. policy on settlements under incoming U.S. president Donald Trump, Terrestrial Jerusalem and other settlement watch groups outlined the areas they consider most vulnerable to settlement expansion. While the Israeli Security Cabinet voted on 22 January to postpone discussion of a bill facilitating the annexation of the Ma'ale Adumim settlement until after Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu had a chance to meet in person, many analysts highlighted the probable annexation of settlements in East Jerusalem and even possibly part of Area C of the West Bank. Peace Now released a report estimating that 4,000 settlement units and 55 illegal outposts would be retroactively legalized under the recently enacted Regulation Law and documenting the 3,000 additional units that could be newly expropriated under the law (see Update on Conflict & Diplomacy in JPS 46 [3] for more on new Israeli legislation).

In the conflict between Israel and the Arab states, the ICRC considers that the conditions for the application of the Fourth Convention, which prohibits an occupying power from settling its civilians in the occupied territory, destroying the homes of the people living there or expelling them from it, are fulfilled in all of the occupied territories (the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, Golan and East Jerusalem). The principles that the rights of persons who are in occupied territory are inviolable is expressed in Article 47 of the Fourth Convention.
