(Ha'aretz) Tali Heruti-Sover - The Arab village of Bartaa, divided by the Green Line between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, is experiencing a remarkable economic boom. Since the construction of the separation fence in 2003, a kind of unplanned free trade zone has developed on the Palestinian side of Bartaa. Some 20,000 cars enter the village every day. The fact that eastern Bartaa is totally accessible to both Palestinians and Israelis has turned it into a glittering business opportunity for West Bank merchants. Prices are 20-30% below other places in Israel. It is estimated that 80% of Israeli shoppers are Arab and 20% are Jewish. 2012-02-03 00:00:00Full Article
