Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a change to the controversial Citizenship Bill so that Jews as well as non-Jews will now have to swear allegiance to Israel as a "Jewish and democratic state". The initial proposal approved by the cabinet on October 10 was to apply only to non-Jews wanting to apply for citizenship in a move which was widely condemned as racist by Israel's Arab minority. For more on the controversial citizenship bill, RT talks to International law professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem Mordechai Kremnitzer, who opposes it and professor Shmuel Sandler, from the Begin-Sadat centre for strategic studies who supports the bill.

In northern Afghanistan, over a thousand people have joined a protest to demand foreign troops get out of the country. The rally in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif was sparked by a NATO raid on a market in which two local security guards were killed. The demonstrators insist the two posed no threat, but the Alliance says they were shot after refusing to put down their weapons. It has added to the growing anger over the number of civilian deaths in the country. Just on Friday, NATO accepted blame for accidentally killing 6 civilians in eastern Afghanistan.

Under the agreement, the US will build a network of military facilities in the country over the next four years.

The stated intent of the program is to defend Europe against attacks from rogue states such as Iran, and North Korea.

On the ground in Libya, rebel fighters have retreated from the key eastern town of AjDabiya, after heavy shelling by Gaddafi forces. It continues a series of the opposition's losses. On Saturday, rebels were advancing to the strategic oil port of Brega, but were forced back after a sandstorm grounded NATO aircraft. Back in March, the UN Security Council passed the resolution, allowing the intervention, but critics say that what's actually happening there is far from simply enforcing a no-fly zone.
