UAE to build town for Palestinians at site of Gaza settlements
EFL The United Arab Emirates is to build a new town for Palestinians on the site of demolished Jewish settlements once Israel withdraws from the Gaza Strip, state news agency WAM said on Sunday. It said the development, to be named the Khalifa bin Zayed City after UAE President Sheikh Khalifa, would house 30,000 to 40,000 Palestinians at a cost of at least $100 million. A new neighborhood opened in the northern Gaza Strip earlier this year where the UAE spent some $55 million to house Palestinians whose homes had been destroyed by the Israel Defense Forces since 2000. I s'pose this is a less harmful way to get rid of those oil profits than directly sponsoring terrorists. Israel has agreed with the Palestinian Authority to demolish all the homes in its Gaza enclaves. 'Cause Israelis have cooties! Posted by: trailing wife 2005-07-25 |
