Not a mirage:
Yesterday, we hosted a press tour of the Judean Desert Nature Reserve, and it was truly heart-wrenching.
The journalists who joined us saw with their own eyes how, in direct violation of the Oslo Accords and the Wye River Memorandum, illegal construction in the nature reserve has spiraled out of control, under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority.
