Transcribed from the clipping
“CAIRO — Israel and the Palestinians pledged Sunday at a meeting in Egypt to take steps to lower tensions ahead of a sensitive holiday season — including a partial freeze on Israeli settlement activity and an agreement to work together to ‘curb and counter violence.’… The Israeli pledges were largely symbolic.
Israel recently approved the construction of thousands of new settlement homes, and there were no immediate plans to approve additional construction… Netanyahu made no mention of Sunday’s summit in his weekly Cabinet meeting. Later, he called the Israeli man who was shot a ‘wounded hero.’”
Context added by this archive
Two bylines, two headlines, one communiqué. Only this version tells the reader, flatly, that the pledges were largely symbolic.
