TIPH temporarily suspends activities

After a serious security incident Wednesday 8 February it was decided to temporarily deploy all TIPH staff to Tel Aviv. Regular TIPH activities in Hebron have since been suspended.

The security incident involved a group of young Palestinians throwing rocks at the TIPH Headquarter. The incident followed an escalation of tension after cartoons of the Propeht Mohammad were published in Danish and Norwegian publications.

TIPH member countries are committed to redeploy all TIPH staff to Hebron and resume  activities as soon as the security situation allows it.

TIPH ambassadors met 8 February (see summary), 9 February and 13 February and will continue to meet.
