UN rights expert praises Israel
A UN human rights expert has praised Israel for taking steps to improve the condition of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Special rapporteur John Dugard welcomed Israel's halting of targeted killings, the removal of some checkpoints and a plan to pull out of the Gaza Strip.

But he said Palestinian patience was running out over the issue of West Bank settlements and prisoner releases.

Israel rejected much of the report, saying Mr Dugard's mandate was biased.

1. Did the UN rights expert mention the bulldozers that Israel uses
to destroy the homes of Palestinians in its version of eminent domain?
