Settlers claim daylight stay at illegal Havat Gilad outpost
About 2,000 Jewish settlers gathered at the Havat Gilad outpost near Nablus claiming a government concession. They would remain on the hilltop during daylight with homes and a roofless synagogue, but must return home at night. The Defense Ministry and Settlers' Council discussed that the structures stay and families may farm during the day, unclear if temporary or permanent. Moshebar set up the outpost after his son Gilad was killed by militants in May 2001.

Dutch anti immigration coalition collapses under power struggle
The right wing Balkenende government in the Netherlands collapsed after a power struggle within the 12 week old coalition and Balkenende announced his resignation to Queen Beatrix. The move likely triggers new elections within three months and imperils Pim Fortuyn's List LPF which rose to prominence on anti immigration and crime platforms after leader Fortuyn was assassinated nine days before the May 15 election.
