This is fantastic news – and Well done for all the people involved – and the people who support this.
I will post this article on my blog too – spread the word – increase peoples awareness about this.
It will be interesting how the Israeli government approach this with the US.

Insha’Allah (God willing) this will be successful at any level possible for all peace loving people.
As for the ‘…government approach this with the US.’, I am sure the ‘Israeli Controlled’ US Gov. and Media will cover everything up pro Israel.
