Palestinians Make Slow Progress Transforming Former Gaza Settlements
(Ha'aretz) Arnon Regular - The PA has brought in thousands of armed Fatah activists to become settlement guards in Gush Katif. At the entrance to Morag, the cornerstone has been laid for a new city, funded by the UAE, where some 3,500 apartments are to be built. Workers in the hothouses of Netzarim said they are supposed to get NIS 60 per day, including travel expenses of NIS 10. This amounts to about NIS 1,500 per month, as opposed to the NIS 4,000 they received when they worked for the Israelis. But in any case, according to workers in most of the settlements, they have not received any pay for six weeks.
