FoEME released its own “Model Water Agreement”
In
response to the World Bank’s report on
restrictions on the Palestinian water sector, which revealed the extent to which
water resources and sustainable development are being held hostage to the
conflict, FoEME released its own “Model Water
Agreement”. This
Model Water Accord constitutes a detailed agreement for cooperation in
addressing common Israeli and Palestinian water challenges and in managing
shared natural resources and calls for the replacement of the Joint Water
Committee with a new body where equivalent powers and responsibilities would
lie.
