Israel restricts Palestinian access to rainwater in the West Bank
Ta-Nehisi Coates, an American journalist, notes that the Israeli authorities require permits for the collection of rainwater by Palestinians in the West Bank, which limits their access to water resources. According to Coats, water consumption in Israeli settlements is four times higher than that of Palestinians, who often face water shortages.
Ta-Nehisi Coates, a well-known American journalist and writer, in his book "The Message" emphasizes that the Israeli authorities strictly control the access of Palestinians to water resources in the West Bank of the Jordan River. According to him, Palestinians are required to obtain permission to collect rainwater, and such permits are extremely rare, which creates an acute shortage of water for Palestinian communities. At the same time, Israelis in nearby settlements consume four times more water, which increases social and economic pressure on the Palestinians.
