Palestinians plant tree saplings surrounding the first planned Palestinian city in the West Bank. The $800 million endeavor hopes to house 40,000 middle-class Palestinians and serve as a high-tech business center.

Israelis and Palestines should work together... they'd beat all the rest of middle east cos siraelis and palestinians are just the best :DD

@sparkyisrael Wrong your screwed up leadership is leading you astray Foo.

Israel shouldn't even exist! Give Palestinians their land back!

Below me, he's right this project would not be possible if they didn't get approved! I'm suprised it did! Maybe it's a sign of better times!

[mahdizzle]

I'm overthrawled with excitement! I'm glad to see Palestinians moving along! G-d bless,

@sparkyisrael

the project has already broken ground and started construction, yet it all hinges on Israel's approval of a short stretch of road to allow access to the city- so far the IDM has refused to say whether such access will be given which is irrational, a Palestinian road on Palestinian land yet the Pals have to get permission from the Israelis before they can use it- strange really. But you are right in that the Pals are politcally divided. Lets hope peace comes to that region soon.

I don't see it happening. Even if the buildings get built and the trees get planted. The social barriers outweigh the political ones, IMO.

It's been almost a century and the Palestinians still have no leadership.
