US Continues Funding Segregated West Bank Roads
-----------------------------------------------



Newly disclosed figures show the US continues to fund the construction
of segregated roads for Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. The
United Arab Emirates-based newspaper The National reports the US Agency
for International Development—USAID—has financed 146 miles
of West Bank roads and is set to fund another seventy-four miles this
year. Palestinians are either barred from the roads entirely or face
severe restrictions from using them.
