Special Permit for Arab Businessmen in Judea, Samaria (IsraelNN.com) Israeli authorities are issuing 1,500 special permits to Arab businessmen in Judea and Samaria, according to Ramiro Cibrian-Uzal, the European Union ambassador to Israel. The new permits are another "good will" measure towards easing travel for Arabs at the checkpoints, which the international community wants dismantled, despite their role in preventing terrorist attacks. Preparing for a Saturday night visit by American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Tuesday that the checkpoints and roadblocks will remain in force but other measures will be taken to ease travel restrictions. He also approved allowing new equipment and armored vehicles for Palestinian Authority forces, but he did not detail the types or amounts. ![]() © A7 Syndications - This article may not be republished freely.
