Haaretz is reporting the United Nations will hold an emergency session on Friday to discuss last week’s International Court of Justice ruling that Israel was illegally building a 425-mile wall through the West Bank. Yesterday a draft resolution sponsored by the PLO mission began circulating at the UN. calling on Israel to abide by the ruling. Meanwhile Israeli Army mapmakers said they may reroute the wall by moving it closer to Israel. Israel said it was considering the changes not in response to the World Court ruling but to a recent domestic court ruling.
