US funding new West Bank road signs written in Arabic and English -- no Hebrew
I hope Israel will fund new road signs in Iowa written in Arabic and Hebrew -- no English.
"The development is seen as part of the preparation for a future Palestinian state" -- and yet the aftermath of the Gaza withdrawal only indicates that such a state will simply become a base for more jihad attacks against Israel.

"US funding new West Bank road signs written in Arabic and English," from the Jerusalem Post, August 27 (thanks to James):
New road signs in Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank will be in Arabic and English, without Hebrew, a US official said Thursday.Mindy Masonis, spokeswoman for the US Consulate in Jerusalem, said the new signs will be part of a larger program aimed at improving conditions in the West Bank. The development is seen as part of the preparation for a future Palestinian state.
Masonis said no signs are being taken down, but the new ones in the Palestinian areas will be in Arabic and English. The sign project accounts for about $175,000 of a three-year, $20 million U.S. aid project to improve services in the West Bank....

The move is in preparation for a future Palestinian state.
Howard Sumka, of USAID, says the American-funded project is expected to take up to four years and cost about $20 million.
