Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel announced yesterday that it would allow family members and lawyers to meet about 400 expelled Palestinians near their tent camp in south Lebanon.

The offer was in the state's final response to the Supreme Court, which has been holding hearings on the legality of the expulsion of the alleged Muslim extremists.

The Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, said he hoped the Supreme Court would uphold the government's decision. Israeli television said the court was expected to rule this week.

International pressure is mounting on Israel to repatriate the deportees, who were expelled on 17 December. Yesterday four senior European emissaries arrived to discuss the expulsions with Israeli leaders.
