Palestinians Blocking Economic Cooperation with Israel in West Bank
[Ha'aretz] Barak Ravid - There is no practical progress on economic projects due to the refusal of senior Palestinian Authority officials to cooperate with Israel. According to a senior political source, all contacts on economic issues with Palestinian officials are carried out through the Quartet's special envoy, Tony Blair. The Palestinian refusal to meet senior Israeli officials resulted in the cancellation of a joint conference scheduled to take place in Tokyo on the Jericho industrial zone.
