Palestine’s skateboarders defy gravity at new park
In Nablus, Palestine's largest skate park has opened, built by UK-based charity SkatePAL in collaboration with local organizations. The park aims to provide Palestinian children with a positive outlet and foster a growing skateboarding community. Despite challenges like the lack of access to skateboards, the initiative has been well-received, with plans to import boards to make the sport more accessible. Key figures like Mohammed Sawalhe and Charlie Davis highlight the park's potential to inspire hope and community development among Palestinian youth.
West Bank union organiser reinstated after two-year battle
Hatem Abu Ziadeh, a Palestinian union organizer, has been reinstated after a two-year legal battle following his unlawful dismissal from Zarfaty garage in an Israeli settlement. The National Labour Court ruled in his favor, highlighting the challenges faced by Palestinian workers in Israeli settlements, where Israeli labor laws apply but are not always enforced. The case underscores the tension between Israeli employers and Palestinian workers seeking better conditions, with the WAC-MAAN union playing a pivotal role in advocating for workers' rights. The verdict may influence labor dynamics in settlements, potentially making them more attractive to Palestinian workers due to higher wages.

Hatem Abu Ziadeh, a Palestinian union organizer, has been reinstated after a two-year legal battle following his unlawful dismissal from Zarfaty garage in an Israeli settlement.

The WAC-MAAN union, which represents Palestinian workers, played a crucial role in advocating for better working conditions. The case underscores the broader issues of labor rights and the application of Israeli labor laws in settlements, with significant implications for the 30,000 Palestinians working in these areas.
West Bank teachers harden stance as strike enters fourth week
Thousands of Palestinian teachers are on strike, demanding the implementation of a 2013 agreement for salary raises and independent representation. The strike, affecting around 700,000 children, has seen significant protests and government attempts to negotiate. Teachers remain skeptical of government promises, leading to continued demonstrations. The strike is one of the largest opposition movements against the Palestinian Authority in recent years.
The battle for Palestine’s olive harvest kicks off in the West Bank
The annual olive harvest in the West Bank is a crucial economic, social, and cultural event for Palestinians, despite significant challenges posed by Israeli settlements and military restrictions. Olive farming is vital to the Palestinian economy, contributing 25% to the West Bank's economy and providing jobs to over 150,000 people. However, settler violence causes substantial financial losses each year. Palestinian university students and international volunteers assist farmers to mitigate these challenges, with their efforts seen as acts of symbolic resistance. The article also highlights the tragic impact of settler violence on the Dawabsheh family.
Many Palestinian families are reunited for Easter
850 permits were granted to Christians in Gaza by Israeli authorities to travel to East Jerusalem and the West Bank for Easter, marking the first time in over eight years that such a large number of young men received permits. Despite this, many families could not travel due to financial constraints or incomplete family permits. The Catholic humanitarian organization Caritas Jerusalem and other figures emphasized the right to freedom of movement. The event allowed Gazans to attend medical appointments and reunite with family members. The Palestine Liberation Organisation highlighted the integral role of Christians in Palestine and expressed hope for future celebrations in Jerusalem.
