More from the Middle East Committee

The Middle East Committee adopted Overture 15-10 from Philadelphia which endorses positive and peaceful investment in Israel/Palestine. the committee included a comment that clarifies that even though the original overture was anti- divestment, the committee supports divestment. The committee voted 36 to 8 for the amended overture. I'm also hearing that there may be a Minority Report, which could be the original 15-10 from Philadelphia Presbytery which opposes divestment. If there is a minority report the GA will need to decide whether to support divestment or not.
