The following update includes a translation of the essence of the verdict given by the Israeli High Court of Justice (HCJ) regarding holding Palestinian prisoners in prisons and detention facilities in Israel. Palestinian political prisoners and administrative detainees from the West Bank and Gaza are being held by the Israeli authorities in incarceration and detention facilities inside Israel, in contradiction to the Fourth Geneva Convention concerning the rights of protected persons in occupied territory. On March 25, 2009, the Israeli NGOs "Yesh Din", "The Association for civil rights in Israel" and "HaMoked" have petitioned the HCJ demanding a reevaluation of this policy.

Mekorot is the national water company of Israel, which supplies 90% of Israel’s drinking water and provides 80% of its water supplies. The company is state-owned. Mekorot not only operates within Israel’s internationally recognized pre-1967 borders (i.e. within the Green Line), but also in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). It is the Israeli government’s executive arm in the OPT for water issues. In East Jerusalem and other parts of the occupied West Bank, Mekorot supplies water to the settlements. It also supplies a substantial share of the water consumed by Palestinians, who are prevented from developing their own water sector.
