Excerpts;

“It will be a disaster for the Gaza hothouse project if the Palestinians cannot export within two weeks produce grown on the 2,000 dunams of agricultural infrastructure purchased this summer from Israeli farmers, Palestinian Authority Finance Minister Salaam Fayad told The Jerusalem Post Monday.”
