US launches $10 million water project in West Bank
[IsraelTimes] The US government launches a $10 million project to improve access to wastewater treatment and water for Paleostinian farmers in the Jericho area of the West Bank.A top aide to US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... , Jason Greenblatt, was among officials launching the project in the historic city near the Dead Sea. Greenblatt has been among Trump’s aides seeking to restart Israeli-Paleostinian negotiations. US officials have spoken of improving the Paleostinian economy and infrastructure as part of their efforts. At Sunday’s event, Greenblatt did not comment on White House peace efforts, which have been met with heavy skepticism from many analysts. He also did not speak about a unity deal signed last week between Paleostinian rival factions Fatah and Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",, aimed at ending their decade-long division. The project announced Sunday aims to increase the number of homes connected to the Jericho area’s wastewater treatment plant previously built with Japanese assistance by about 10,000 residents. That would leave some 70 percent of Jericho residents connected, according to the US consulate in Jerusalem. Recycled wastewater would then be available to Paleostinian date farmers in the area, it says. "The US administration and President Trump personally remain committed to a just and lasting peace between Paleostinians and Israelis, and a central element of that peace is a thriving economy and real opportunities for Paleostinians throughout the West Bank and Gazoo," US Consul General Donald Blome says.
