Palestinian Authority businessmen who are going to the economic workshop in Bahrain have met with Shomron (Samaria) Regional Council head Yossi Dagan in a continuation of meetings that he frequently conducts with the Arab local leadership in order to create an alternative to the PA.
Ashraf Ja'abari, the head of the delegation, said, "We are interested in a large industrial zone, as there is in Barkan, and we want to build a hospital in Hevron. Twenty-five years have passed since the Oslo Accords, and what are the results? Only blood. We have to talk about how we will live. What will happen in the future to our children, who should not live as we live. May there be a strong economic situation and may they have a livelihood."
