Palestinians Working for Israelis Earn Three Times as Much as in the PA
(Reuters) Ali Sawafta - Around 36,000 Palestinians work in Israeli towns in the West Bank, many in construction, earning up to three times as much as the average Palestinian wage. Israel has also established several industrial zones for Palestinians. West Bank businesses say they offer much needed employment. Israel disputes that its settlements in the West Bank are illegal and says the final status of territory it captured nearly a half-century ago should be determined in peace talks with the Palestinians.
