THE issue of Israeli settlement in the Palestinian-occupied West Bank will be aired at a public meeting in Durham next month.
The national secretary of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Betty Hunter, will address the annual meeting of the group's Durham branch.
She claims the "on-going Israeli land grab" has taken place largely away from the glare of the international media.
She said: "While international media focused on the removal of 8,500 Jewish settlers from occupied Palestinian land in the Gaza Strip, in the summer, a far greater number - more than 14,000 settlers - have moved to the West Bank so far this year."
The issues will be debated at the meeting, at St Nicholas Church Hall, in the Market Place, from 7.30pm, on Thursday, November 10.
