Will the PA be able to invest in Area C?

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah is urging donors and international institutions to help the Palestinian Authority (PA) “invest, work and move freely” in the West Bank’s Area C, which Israel controls.

Hamdallah briefed the Council of Ministers on Oct. 2 in Ramallah on the outcome of the Sept. 26-27 meetings of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee — which coordinates development aid to Palestinians — held at UN headquarters in New York. The official Wafa news agency quoted him as saying, “We will be able to count on ourselves and depend less on donors when the PA is enabled to invest in Area C.”
