CHEAT SHEET
TOP 10 RIGHT NOW
The biggest leak in the history of Israel and Palestine’s conflict has just been released—and Julian Assange had nothing to do with it. A cache of thousands of documents obtained by al Jazeera TV and published by The Guardian alleges unprecedented concessions by the Palestinians. Among other things, the documents, which span from 1999-2010, allege that Palestinian negotiators in 2008 secretly agreed to accept Israel's annexation of all East Jerusalem save for one settlement in exchange for Israeli land near the West Bank. Palestinian leaders refute the claims; chief negotiator Saeb Erekat called the report "lies and half-truths."
