Abstract
The Arab League gave approval to the Palestinian Authority to conduct proximity talks with Israel provided that Israel stops settlement activities. Israel, however, and upon the visit of the US Vice President declared its intention to build settlement clusters in East Jerusalem
Some calls sprang up lately to declare the establishment of a Palestinian state from one side by the Palestinian Authority, to seek international recognition from the United Nations and to ask the Security Council to draw the final borders of the Palestinian State.
The last Arab summit conference was held in Libya and some resolutions were made to support the Palestinian Authority and to raise concern and particular support for the issue of Jerusalem
On another side of the scene, the Ministry of Local Government declared that all municipalities and local councils are caretaker councils until mid July when Municipality and local council elections will be held
