A Palestinian  contractor at Beitar Ilit has a Bedouin guard at the site on which he was working. When the latter was arrested, the permit of the contractor was  cancelled. He was called to give evidence in Jerusalem and tried to get a permit so as to get to the court but was refused. We told him to speak to Sylvia even though we doubted she would be able to help him.

Palestinians are finding it difficult to get an appointment for a magnetic card. There are “businessmen” who for twenty, thirty shekel  can get them an appointment.   But people who have been   given an appointment at 9 am have only gone  in at 2pm.

The waiting room, as  usual, was in a state of disarray   but one Palestinian found a use for one of the maps lying around.
