21 Palestinian Villages Reject Israeli Offer to Connect to Sewer Line
(Jerusalem Post) Sharon Udasin - Despite Israeli offers to connect 22 Palestinian villages in southern Samaria in the West Bank to a central sewage pipe, all but one of them refused, Israeli Environmental Protection Ministry officials said Thursday. Instead, the Palestinian sewage flows into the aquifer below. "We are doing everything we can to prevent pollution in Judea and Samaria, but nevertheless, the Palestinians refuse to cooperate," said Environmental Protection Minister Gilad Erdan. Erdan expressed hope that donor countries would agree to only continue giving the villages financial support if they agree to connect to the sewage pipeline.
