PLO: East Jerusalem Bedouins Vital for Contiguous Palestinian State

RAMALLAH, June 4, 2014 (WAFA) – The PLO Negotiations Affairs Department said, in a fact sheet published on Wednesday, that Palestinian Bedouin communities living in the E1 area, in eastern Jerusalem Governorate,  are a vital constituent for the territorial contiguity of the State of Palestine, given the nonstop Israeli attempts to annex the E1 area to Israel.

The beginning of the fact sheet read: “In the overall context of Israel’s aim to annex vast areas of the Occupied State of Palestine to Israel, through its settlement enterprise and accompanying policies of colonization, the Palestinian Bedouin communities stand at the eastern gateway of Jerusalem; the very part that connects the northern and southern West Bank to East Jerusalem, allows for territorial contiguity between the north and south of the West Bank and is pivotal for the establishment of a viable contiguous Palestinian state.”
