The Knesset approved early Tuesday morning the first reading of the “Supermarket Law”, which will grant the Interior Minister the powers to disqualify municipal bylaws promoted by the local authorities, effectively shutting down supermarkets that had been operating on the Sabbath with permission from the local authority.
The motion was approved by a majority of 59 MKs who voted in favor and 54 who voted against. One MK abstained.
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri (Shas), who initiated the legislation, threatened to resign from the government if the law was not approved in its first reading.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu shortened his trip to Europe and exerted pressure on MKs from the Likud who threatened not to support the bill, namely Sharren Haskel and Yehuda Glick. Glick finally agreed to support the bill in exchange for the coalition's agreement to promote a bill banning the publication of cigarettes and tobacco products, except in the printed press.
Under the bill, bylaws concerning opening and closing of businesses on Saturdays and Jewish holidays will require the agreement of the minister of the interior. Agreement will be granted only for businesses supplying vital needs.

The Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) condemns the Israeli authorities’ decision to decrease the fishing area to 6 nautical miles off the area from the Gaza Valley to Rafah City in the south. According to the Israeli decision, the Palestinian fishermen in the Gaza Strip are banned from sailing and fishing freely and denied them access to the areas where fish breed.
Nizar ‘Ayash, Head of the General Union of Fishing Workers in the Gaza Strip, said to PCHR’s fieldworker that on Monday, 11 December 2017, the Israeli authorities informed the Palestinian Civil Affairs Authority of decreasing the fishing area to 6 nautical miles from the Gaza Valley to Rafah City in the south.
This decision will enter into force at 15:00 on Tuesday, 12 December 2017, restricting fishermen and their movement in the Gaza Waters. It should be mentioned that the Israeli authorities previously allowed the Palestinian fishermen to sail up to 9 nautical miles in the above-mentioned area on 03 May 2017.
PCHR emphasizes that the Israeli decision against Palestinian fishermen is in violation of the right to work according to Article 6 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Thus, PCHR:

The Israeli occupation forces demolished on Tuesday a Palestinian building in Wad al-Humus, south of Occupied Jerusalem.
The facility’s owner Ahmed Bkeirat said Israeli forces, escorted by bulldozers, razed his well-equipped carwash to the ground under the pretext of unlicensed construction.
The building, covering an area of half a dunum and formerly owned by Ahmed’s father, was expected to be inaugurated later in the day.
On November 26, the Israeli municipality issued an order to demolish the carwash, shortly after which the owner’s lawyer objected the order. However, the building was reduced to rubble in less than 10 days.
Ahmed said the carwash is the only source of living for his family and children.
Earlier in the day, Israeli bulldozers demolished the foundations of a Palestinian building in Ras Shahada, northeast of Occupied Jerusalem, and notified the demolition of 10 Palestinian facilities near the apartheid wall under the pretext of unlicensed construction.
At least seven Palestinian buildings were knocked down by the Israeli occupation forces and authorities in November. Two others were self-demolished by their owners for fear of being heavily fined by the occupation authorities.

Israeli navy ships attacked, on Sunday evening, a Palestinian fishing boat in the Sudaniyya Sea, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. The Navy fired many live rounds at the fishing boat, wounding one fisherman. They then seized the boat and detained five fishermen.
The attack took place in Palestinian territorial waters, less than 2.5 nautical miles from the shore.
Amjad Sharafi, secretary-general of the Gaza Fishermen Union, said in a statement that the Israeli navy illegally attacked a fishing boat owned by Khamis Abu Sadeq, and confiscated it.

The wounded fisherman, Mohammad Bakr, said the navy also fired many live rounds, destroying the motor and causing serious damage to the boat, in addition to wounding him in the abdomen.
He added that the navy ordered the fishermen to jump in the water, one by one.
“They ordered us to strip, and jump in the water,” Mohammad said, “I told them I had been injured, so one of them ordered me to raise my hands in the air while lying down, and he removed my clothes, then had us all jump in the water.”
All of them were abducted and interrogated, and were released later, but their damaged boat was confiscated and towed to Ashdod Port.
The boat’s owner said the navy had destroyed his only source of livelihood, and confiscated it.
“Even if they return the boat to me, its already been destroyed,” he added, “This boat provided livelihood to twelve Palestinians.”

Major crossings between Israel and the Palestinian territories are expected to be shut down on Sunday due to an Israeli labor dispute, halting the transfer of goods and banning the movement of over 70,000 Palestinian workers, Hebrew sources reported on Saturday.
Israel’s border crossing staff members, who administer many of the border terminals between Israel, the occupied West Bank, and the blockaded Gaza Strip, have been on a strike to protest their employment conditions.
The union representing crossings workers said that they had reached an impasse in talks with government officials.

The entry of essential equipment and much-needed humanitarian aid will also be at risk as a result of the strike.
