PLO blocks West Bank Arabs leaving for a better life

Offering West Bank Arabs a lifeline to a better future elsewhere is long overdue.

Secretary General of the Palestine Liberation Organization-Saeb Erekat-has told a political symposium in Jericho that West Bank Arabs would not be allowed to voluntarily leave-virtually holding them captives against their will.

If confirmed, West Bank Arabs could well be prepared to voluntarily leave the West Bank in large numbers-especially if offered the opportunity to legally enter other Arab countries and receive financial assistance for rehousing and resettlement there.

7 billion possibly available to aid West Bank Arabs who want to emigrate, being the money he wanted to plough into revitalising the West Bank and Gaza-which both the PLO and Hamas unbelievably rejected.

Helping those desperate to emigrate who have suffered the perverse decisions of the PLO during the last 25 years is a much more targeted use of the money-guaranteeing a far better outcome for West Bank Arabs and their families.

The Independent Commission for Human Rights in Palestine, a statutory commission charged with monitoring human rights compliance by the Palestinian authorities, received 205 complaints of torture and ill-treatment by West Bank security forces as of October 31, 2018.In the West Bank and East Jerusalem, Israeli security forces fatally shot 27 Palestinians and wounded at least 5,444,.Attacks by Israeli settlers injured 61 Palestinians and damaged property in 147 incidents.

Since the 1993 Oslo Accords-95% of the West Bank Arab population has been under total PLO administrative control.
