The Elders condemn Israeli attack on Gaza relief ships
The Elders have condemned the reported killing by Israeli forces of more than a dozen people who were attempting to deliver relief supplies to the Gaza strip by sea. Meeting in Johannesburg, they repeated their call for an end to the blockade on Gaza, called for a full investigation of last night’s incident and urged the UN Security Council to debate the situation with a view to mandating action to end the closure of the Gaza Strip.
The Elders use the internet to transcend barriers
Eminent global leaders visiting Israel and the West Bank have launched a blog to document their visit, including personal text, photo and video posts. At the end of their visit, they will stream a live video broadcast from Jerusalem, Ramallah and Tel Aviv on their website www.theelders.org
