US Special Envoy Jason Greenblatt lauded Israel's announcement on Tuesday that it would permit Palestinian Authority cellular carriers to access 3G mobile telecommunications services.
"I am pleased to mark this week's launch of 3G cellular services by Palestinian mobile phone operators Jawwal and Wataniya in the West Bank. The U.S. government is proud to have worked closely with the Palestinian Authority, the Government of Israel, the operators, and the Office of the Quartet to encourage this tangible improvement in Palestinian lives" said Greenblatt.
"We continue to work with both the Israelis and Palestinians to improve the local economy, underscoring President Trump’s efforts to achieve a comprehensive agreement. The road is not always smooth, but 3G is one example of what is possible when we work together."
