Israeli Wine Guide Excludes Wineries From the West Bank
The 2015 edition of the New Israeli Wine Guide, a now-annual compilation of the best wines in Israel, does not include wineries in the Judea and Samaria area, Israeli's official name for the West Bank, excluding East Jerusalem. According to the Jewish Press, the intentional omission is due to the wineries' geographic location within the occupied West Bank, a region that has been occupied by Israel since 1967. The exclusion of Judea and Samaria, however, appears to specifically target the region and not other debated territories, like the Golan Heights, which were included in the guide.

Arby's loaded curly fries, topped with warm Cheddar cheese sauce, chopped pepper bacon, shredded Cheddar cheese, diced tomato, and red onion, and drizzled with parmesan peppercorn ranch sauce, will be appearing on menus nationwide starting December 28.
