Peres Retracts Proposal for Joint Industrial Zone with PA
(Ha'aretz) Gideon Alon - Vice Premier Shimon Peres Wednesday retracted his proposal to establish joint industrial zones with the Palestinian Authority near Israel's border with Gaza, saying such areas would be open targets of terror for which Israel would have to bear the brunt of the security responsibilities. Similar zones had already been established at the Erez and Karni crossings on the Gaza border. Peres said the appropriate location for such zones would be on the Gaza-Egypt border, rather than on Gaza's border with Israel.
