U.S. Envoy Looks to Boost Israel-Palestinian Business Cooperation in West Bank
(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman met on Tuesday in Ariel with a group of Israeli and Palestinian business leaders to discuss joint economic ventures in the West Bank, saying people on the ground are ready to cooperate despite the differences between political leaders. Later, Friedman tweeted that the businessmen he met are "ready, willing and able to advance joint opportunity & peaceful coexistence. People want peace and we are ready to help! Is the Palestinian leadership listening?" Tuesday's meeting had been scheduled to take place in Hebron, where most of the ten Palestinian business leaders Friedman met are from, but the meeting was moved due to "security reasons."
