Palestine-Israel, Politics, 12/10/1997
A detailed study on Israeli ambitions on Arab waters, compiled by the secretary general of Arab geologists, Dr. Wisam al-Hashimi, asserted these ambitions went back to the end of the 19th century.
The study which is published by al-Ibu al-Arabi weekly in its recent issue said that Israel has drilled wells in the occupied Arab territories and prohibited the Palestinians from their rights to drill for water, with some exceptions for drinkable water.
The study indicates an Israeli strategy in this respect built on the principle that all waters in the occupied territories are the property of Israel with nothing left for the Palestinians. The study revealed that a 45-expert Israeli team was formed to study of Arab waters source, including ground and river waters.
