BRUSSELS / EUOBSERVER - Biometric entrance systems at school cafeterias, fingerprint scanners to start car engines or face recognition systems on buses could become an everyday reality for Europeans, a new research paper suggests. 

The World Council of Churches is deeply concerned about actions by the Government of Israel which threaten the achievement of a just peace for both Israel and Palestine by pre-empting negotiations on the final status of Jerusalem within the framework of international law. This letter reiterates the position of the WCC on a matter of critical importance.

 Leading rabbis of the nationalist camp, headed by former Chief Rabbi Avraham Shapira, publicized a call this morning for soldiers not to show up for army service after the Passover holiday.

The rabbis' call states that any reserve service that is carried out between Passover and the end of this summer "helps, directly and
indirectly, the implementation of the disengagement plan and the
evacuation of parts of our homeland."
