(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - The EU, Denmark, and the Palestinian Authority signed an agreement on Tuesday to build 16 infrastructure projects for the Palestinians in Area C of the West Bank, which is under Israeli control.

This construction is part of a 2012 PA plan to create Palestinian contiguity in the area, surrounding and isolating Israeli communities. The Trump administration is still interested in promoting the extension of Israeli law in parts of the West Bank in the upcoming month, an administration official told the Jerusalem Post. However, the U.S. peace team is still discussing the details and maps.
