Titolo: UK ﬁrms plan to up West Bank imports

Se mai si raggiungerà la pace con i palestinesi, della qual cosa io
sono sicuro nei giorni dispari, ma solo nei mesi con la R, non sarà
certo per un accordo che riguarda le frontiere. Chi se la passa male
ha tutte le ragioni per voler superare anche la frontiera più stabile
dell'Universo. E di questo tutti i politici israeliani sono convinti,
compreso il tanto mefitico Netanyahu, che è anzi tra gli sponsor di
inziative di questo tipo, tese a fare affermare il settore privato
dell'economia palestinese, una volta libero dal corrotto statalismo
dell'era di Arafat.
UK ﬁrms plan to up West Bank imports

Representatives of British supermarkets and Palestinian export
companies are to meet next week in London for talks aimed at enabling
large quantities of produce from the West Bank to be sold on UK high
streets.
The plan, which is being supported by the Portland Trust, one of the
main bodies promoting PA private sector development, and other British
Jewish businessmen, aims to create a “food hub” to improve shipping
and distribution and help smooth over security problems that disrupt
Palestinian exports.
Senior executives and buyers of chains including Marks & Spencer,
Tesco and Waitrose will meet the Palestinian businessmen who market
the produce of hundreds of West Bank farms as part of a conference
hosted by Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
“The Israeli government and defence establishment have begun to take
on board the importance of Palestinian economic development,” said Sir
Ronald Cohen, chairman of the Portland Trust. “This understanding goes
right across the public spectrum, all the way to [Likud leader]
Netanyahu.”
The Portland Trust was founded in London in 2003 by Sir Ronald and Sir
Harry Solomon. The trust has offices in Tel Aviv and Ramallah and an
annual budget of £1.8m. It focuses on enabling the Palestinian private
sector to develop better business practices and infrastructure.
Sir Ronald said: “There is now a perception that there are investment
opportunities in Palestine that can provide a return and improve the
standard of living of the population. And there is a real opportunity
to achieve both those things.”
One of the trust’s major aims is to build at least 15,000 affordable
houses around the main Palestinian cities, providing housing and
boosting the building and infrastructure sectors.
Another project is a comprehensive study examining the ability of
Palestinian companies to export to western markets. So far the
companies surveyed have been found to be especially weak in their
ability to project their brand, and thus to build their consumer base.

 compreso il tanto mefitico Netanyahu,
tant'è vero che hanno distrutto l'economia di Gaza e Cisgiordania coi
posti di blocco e con l'assedio. Imho sono convinti di un'altra cosa:

ne andranno da soli...
