The Israel Project Report Lacks Detail

The Israel Project has released its weekly update.

While this is generally a useful overview, I am surprised that there is little about the two developments I mentioned yesterday. Firstly, the Knesset's move to frustrate attempts to redraw Jerusalem's borders to allow for the Palestinian capital to be established there gets no mention; secondly, Ehud Olmert's new condition that the Palestinians recognize Israel as "the state of the Jewish people" gets reference only via Saeb Erakat's rejection of the concept.

Two rather significant items that warrant more comment from the non-profit organization that in its own words, "provides journalists, leaders and opinion-makers accurate information about Israel."
