Infrastructure Minister Uzi Landau (Yisrael Beiteinu) said Wednesday that Israel will not transfer water to the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority beyond its minimal commitment if the PA does not begin to properly treat waste in its territory. In a conference on Water Day being held in Kfar Maccabiah, Minister Landau added that the foreign ministry, also in the hands of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, is also involved in the matter. He said that Israel is demanding that the PA use treated waste water for agricultural purposes. Landau’s ministry noted that the American-back PA leaders are refusing to set up sewage treatment plants despite receiving money earmarked specifically for this end.
