The Palestinian Authority (PA) has made it clear it's not interested in economic "solutions" to the Palestinian cause without political change. Still, an Israeli politician is proposing yet another economic plan.
Israel Hayom newspaper reported June 24 that Likud party lawmaker and former Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat has a plan designed to improve the economic situation in the West Bank, focusing on Area C, which is under Israeli control. The proposal is seen as complementary to US President Donald Trump’s controversial Mideast plan, which asserts that economic prosperity for both Israelis and Palestinians can be achieved through cooperation.
