Israel Rejects Palestinian Charges at UN Climate Talks
(Jerusalem Post) Sharon Udasin - Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah attacked Israel at a UN climate conference on Wednesday, claiming that the country is causing damage to the Palestinian environment. Rejecting the Palestinian claims, Israeli Environmental Protection Minister Ze'ev Elkin gave an example to demonstrate how the PA is actually polluting the local environment. "A cement factory has been set up in a nature reserve which endangers the surrounding population and the reserve itself. The local population has turned to Israel for assistance as the cement factory is being promoted by the PA through two of Mahmoud Abbas' sons."
