1. "Looking for donors to finance the study." You mean.....

that since the PA throws its money away by paying hundreds of millions of dollars as 'stipends' to jailed killers and the families of neutralized terrorists, there's no money to pay for things that Arabs could actually use??

Amazing to think that there might be countries stupid enough to fall for this shakedown. The USA won't be one of them. Thank you, President Trump.

If this train ever does get built, I wonder if Arabs will have difficulty avoiding running over waiting passengers, like they do so often in Israel?
2. If it helps thats good

But its JUST a short term fix and doesnt resolve the three fundamental issues

1.How can we create a VIABLE and CONTIGUOUS Palestinian State alongside Israel within mutually secure borders
2.How can Palestinians in the West Bank seek statehood and sovereignity WITHOUT Palestinians in Gaza?
3.The vast potential natural resources for a future Palestine ARE IN GAZA..Offshore oil and gas, fishing, ports, coastal tourism, agricultural and desalination potential, gateway to Magreb and Saudi Peninsula and the holy Islamic place where the prophet drew the inspiration to found Islam…must be for the benefit of ALL Palestinians

Thats why in 1999 Palestinian Academics drew up the PEG Plan..A State of Palestine in a expanded Gaza the size of Lebanon created from land swaps, purchases and transfers that by every measure remains the best road to a viable stable and above all PROSPEROUS state

What we need is the entire Palestinian constituency to openly and honestly debate the possibilities
3. THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN. THEY WILL STEAL THE MONEY.

THEY STOLE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR SUCH PROJECTS. ARAFAT STOLE 11 BILLION DOLLARS. THAT'S WHY THEY LIVE IN POVERTY. ISRAEL SHOULD NOT GET INVOLVE. LET THEM EAT DIRT. LET THEM USE DONKEYS.
