In the Occupied Territories, the Palestinian parliament held a special session on Tuesday in solidarity with the abducted and detained members of the Palestinian Legislative council. Since June, Israel has detained almost one quarter of the members of the Palestinian Parliament. All of the detained lawmakers are members of Hamas. On Tuesday an Israeli military court charged Palestinian parliament speaker Aziz Dweik with being in a terrorist organization.
