Water, the red line: the interdependence of Palestinian and Israeli water resources

Article Abstract:

Palestinian territories and Israel depend mainly on the same water resources. The use and control of this water is based on Israel's territorial control and political objectives. However, absolute Israeli management and control provides the basis for discriminatory policies and practices in favor of Israelis at the expense of Palestinians. The only solution to the region's water crisis is the comprehensive peace settlement between the Palestinian Liberation Organization and Israel.

Water and conflict in the Middle East: threats and opportunities

Article Abstract:

The most critical problems confronting modern Middle East are water ownership, management and use. Reducing regional political tensions is thus a prerequisite for reaching agreements and promoting cooperative efforts among states sharing mutual resources. The Jordanian-Israeli agreements on water sharing may set an important precedent for the region, inspiring confidence that cooperation rather than conflict can relieve tensions and resolve long-standing problems.

Water jitters in the Middle East

Article Abstract:

Regional cooperation is the key to the continuing water problem in Israel. However, even if cooperation is politically feasible, water supplies are still insufficient to meet the region's rapidly growing needs. In a place where all the available water resources are being used, the only remaining option is independent desalination projects. A major portion of global desalinization capacity is already installed in the Middle East.
