Transport in Palestinian Authority
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article describes transport within the region under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority, which consists of two non-contiguous territories, Gaza and the West Bank. Egress and ingress to these territories is controlled by the state of Israel.
As part of the Camp David agreements, repeated in statements made by Israel in 2005, a proposal to link the two Palestinian territories with a high speed rail link has been made. This link might be extended later through to Egypt and Jordan.
