Facts Matter: U.S. Congressman Misled by Palestinians over Water Infrastructure in West Bank
(Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories) On Nov. 6, U.S. Rep. Andy Levin (D-Mich.) tweeted, "Yesterday, I traveled to the southern West Bank, including the Palestinian village of Susya....We watched the government utility, right before our eyes, lay in pipes right across the village's land to deliver tap water to an illegal Israeli outpost nearby." In response, the IDF Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories tweeted on Nov. 7, "We were surprised to read @RepAndyLevin's tweet. The pipe is part of a major water infrastructure project for the region and will serve all populations in the area, mainly the Palestinians. We regret that your hosts misled you and misrepresented the situation. #factsmatter."
