Head of Palestinian Water Authority says Israel wants to increase price of the water it supplies to the PA from NIS 2.60 for one cubic liter to NIS 3.70, concedes that there are additional water problems being caused by poor management on the Palestinian side.
In an interview with Palestinian news agency Ma’an, the head of the Palestinian Water Authority Shadad al-Ateli said on Wednesday that Israel is seeking to increase the price of the water it supplies to the Palestinian Authority, raising it from 2.60 shekels for one cubic liter to 3.70 shekels. Al-Ateli claimed the change will cost the Palestinian Treasury around 700 million shekels (which is the equivalent of around $177 million).
