Liberman to seek approval for new Palestinian industrial park
The Defense Ministry will ask the cabinet to approve the construction of a Palestinian industrial park in the southern West Bank.
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman makes the announcement alongside the approval of 2,500 houses in West Bank settlements.
The new industrial park is slated to be built in Tarkumiya, northwest of Hebron.
“It will be one of the largest industrial zones in the West Bank, in which we are planning to set up warehouse and fuel storage infrastructure, along with other elements,” Liberman’s office says in a statement.
