My apologies, I hadn't seen the Haaretz article and had missed your prior posts, just saw your last reply. A bit confusing since they were playing football there last year.

If refusing the permit was a political move then I agree it's dumb.

Update to this thread:

The Israeli position would be "rejected by the international community, including the United Nations, the International Quartetand the United States," Abul Gheit said, adding "the actual freeze of the settlement over the period of negotiations rather than a limited period is the real and only way for the resumption of the negotiating process."
