Wilderness Stewardship Interns Create New Trail On Griffith Peak

Israel is pursuing a new U.S.-backed plan to control all aid to Gaza, which the United Nations has rejected.

A group tasked with making a plan to remove weapons held by Palestinian factions in Lebanon’s refugees camps met for the first time Friday to begin hashing out a timetable and mechanism for disarming the groups.

Residents of southern Lebanon voted Saturday in the country’s municipal elections that will test support for the Hezbollah terrorist group in the predominantly Shiite areas, months after the end of the Israel-Hezbollah war.

Israel may be walking back from its plans to tightly control all aid to Gaza and prevent aid agencies long established in the territory from delivering it in the same way they have done in the past.

Jewish organization leaders called for local elected officials and civic heads to “stop tolerating hate in the guise of activism” following the fatal shooting of two Israeli Embassy employees.
