[IsraelTimes] Turning on first completely Paleostinian-owned and -managed substation, Israeli energy ministry and PA premier hail cooperation.
High-ranking Paleostinian and Israeli officials gathered in a field outside the West Bank city of Jenin on Monday to turn on the first-ever piece of Paleostinian-owned electricity infrastructure and ink a new electricity agreement between the two sides.
The deal, hailed as "historic" by signatories, will for the first time set parameters for the supply of power between Israel and the Paleostinian Authority, which for years has seen the PA default on billions of shekels of debt and Israel subsequently withhold electricity. |
