EU Helps Palestinians Sidestep Peace Talks via Illegal Building
(JNS) Jason Shvili - Palestinians have illegally built on more than 2,000 acres of Area C of Judea and Samaria in 250 different locations, much of which has been financed by the European Union. Under the Oslo Accords, Israel fully controls Area C, including authorizing construction. In addition, Palestinians have built 373 miles of illegal roads in Area C. All of this is being done in accordance with a joint Palestinian-EU plan to take control of land - without negotiations. The EU's "European Joint Development Program for Area C" has an annual budget of 300 million euros.
