White House welcomes Israeli-Palestinian water agreement
The White House welcomes the water agreement signed today between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
In a statement, the Trump administration notes the plan will allocate 32 million cubic meters, 10 of which will be for Gaza.
The statement adds: “Under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt successfully supported the Israeli and Palestinian efforts to bridge the gaps and reach an agreement on this vital issue. President Trump has made it clear that working towards achieving a lasting peace agreement between the Israelis and Palestinians is a top priority for him, and he strongly believes that peace is possible. The Administration has urged the parties to undertake efforts to promote an environment that is conducive to advancing peace, and this new agreement, the second major Israeli-Palestinian agreement signed this week, is another indication that the parties are capable of working together to achieve mutually beneficial results.”
