Ariel Mayor Describes Coexistence in Samaria

(American Spectator) Steve Postal - Eliyahu Shaviro is the mayor of Ariel, a city in Samaria with about 20,000 people. He said in an interview: "At a municipal level, Ariel strives to create steps for true coexistence between Jews and Arabs....Ariel University, which has 16,000 students, will have a new medical center that once finished will serve both Israelis and Palestinians. The Ariel Industrial Park employs about 6,000 Palestinians along with 2,000 Israelis. There, Palestinians have real jobs, including managerial and engineering jobs. Israelis and Palestinians work side-by-side, and Palestinians make the same wages as Israelis." "The Trump administration's plan is the first time in history when the United States recognizes Jewish sovereignty in communities in Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley as coming from an inalienable right of Jews to live in their homeland. It is the first peace plan in which the United States recognizes an undivided Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It is also the first plan that sufficiently takes into account Israel's security concerns."
