        <media:text>Presenter, Male #1
Attacks by the occupation's soldiers and settlers against citizens and their property have risen recently in most areas of the nation, which signals extreme danger.

Reporter, Male #2
Every day, our people and the country awake to a new attack by the occupation. Palestinian cities, towns, and villages have become a range for attacks by the occupation's soldiers and settlers. In their eyes, everything has become permissible, and can be attacked. Recently, these racist attacks, which have affected the stones, the people, and even the trees, have greatly increased.

Guest, Male #3 (Wasel Abu Yousef, PLF Executive Committee Member)
The occupation's government is preparing for the upcoming elections on January 22nd. We expect that there will be an escalation of attacks, more than the ones we've been witnessing. Especially since Palestinian blood is a commodity in these elections, and every election, for the occupation. Therefore, we're looking for a strict stance from the international community to obligate this right-wing extremist government to abide by the principles of international law, human rights laws, and the Geneva convention, especially after recognizing the Palestinian state.

Reporter, Male #2
These attacks have escalated before the world's eyes without impunity, and have increased in their brutality and barbarity. They show the extent of the occupation's disrespect of laws, treaties, and international charters that guarantee the right to freedom, and the right of people to live a dignified life.

Guest, Male #4 (Ahmad Assaf, Fatah Spokesman)
We headed to the United Nations to receive member state status at the '67 borders. This means that this land is Palestinian by international approval. And this means that everything Israel has done on this land is void. Therefore, all these crimes committed by Israel, and all their endeavors and facilities here will be gone. As for these crimes, Israel will be held accountable for them, because we received membership status at the International Criminal Court. Because of that, Israel is terrified of the Palestinians heading to the United Nations.

Reporter, Male #2
International rights organizations noted that there were dozens of Israeli attacks on citizens and their property last month, especially over the last few days. As the election battle in Israel intensifies, the occupation's racist attacks continue here in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem. The attacks will not stop, and will continue if the international community does not put Israel in its place. From in front of the Beit El settlement, Haroun Omaira, Palestine TV.

        <media:text>Tension over the slated evacuation of the Ulpana neighborhood of Beit El continues with what is suspected to be a linked attack of vandalism on the Jewish-Arab village of Neve Shalom. Investigators believe that the tires of 14 cars were slashed in what has become known as a &quot;Price Tag attack,&quot; launched by suspected far right-wing activists, presumably in protest of the Knesset rejecting the settlement regulation bill two days prior. The words &quot;Revenge,&quot; &quot;Death to Arabs,&quot; and &quot;Regards from Ulpana&quot; were also spray-painted on the vehicles and on the walls of the bilingual school in the mixed community.</media:text>

        <media:text>In an effort to reach an agreement over the relocation of the disputed apartment buildings in Beit El's Ulpana neighborhood, talks have been initiated with a group representing right-wing activists and representatives of the attorney-general and the prime minister. According to the outlines of the potential agreement between the parties, the structures will not be demolished, in exchange for an agreement from the residents to leave peacefully, in the hope that a deal will be made with the Palestinian landowner in the future that will enable them to return.</media:text>

Netanyahu can down proceed with his plan for the demolition and transfer of the five buildings in the Ulpana neighborhood in Beit El. This comes after Netanyahu received overnight approval for his plan from the attorney-general, and after the prime minister said that he would fire anyone who voted for the initiative. Meanwhile, protestors marched from Ulpana and blocked traffic as they called on Likud ministers to remain faithful to the right-wing Zionist camp by supporting the outpost bill.</media:text>

        <media:text>Knesset elections may be underway, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told equal draft activists that if need be, he will go to early elections to make a more fair system for national service. The coalition partners and opposition leaders also signaled that the election could be near. The main issue is a new bill to replace the Tal Law, which allows Ultra-Orthodox Jews to defer their service in the army, and was ruled unconstitutional by the High Court in February.

Another issue causing political strife in Israel is the court-ordered demolition of Jewish homes in the West Bank community of Beit El. The High Court gave the government a two-month extension to execute the order, but officials requested a 90-day extension to further examine the issue. Also at stake are five residential buildings ordered to be evacuated in Ulpana, which has caused a serious rift in the Israeli government. Several Cabinet ministers have vowed to leave the coalition if the court upholds its May 1 eviction deadline for some 30 Ulpana families.</media:text>
