APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Jordan Valley - 16 July 2021. Palestinian farmers work on their farms in the Jordan Valley.
STORYLINE
Heavy losses incurred by the Palestinian farmer in light of the flooding of the markets with crops and agricultural Israeli settlement products.
In the Jordan Valley there are accumulated losses of producers, tomatoes and onions, as the farms were unable to market them despite their low prices.
The accumulation of debts on farmers and the high production costs make their departure from the land an easy opportunity to gnaw the rest of the Jordan Valley, not to mention the water problem and the Ministry of Agriculture's imposition of laws and transfer permits on farmers
Israel invokes security reasons for annexing the Jordan Valley, while the reasons are economic. Israel reaps around $800 million in income from the Jordan Valley, including from dates, flowers and vegetables that are exported to Europe. Also, the Jordan Valley is a strategic reserve for Israel.
These communities are the most vulnerable in the West Bank. They have limited access to education, health services and the necessary infrastructure for water, sanitation and electricity. On several occasions since 2012.
The Jordan Valley has a low population density, estimated at 63,000 people living in large areas. Israel wants to restrict the Palestinians’ presence to closed and isolated cantons in a bid to facilitate the process of their deportation as part of the plan to establish the Jewish state. This strategic plan aims to make the area free of Palestinians by denying them building permits in the Jordan Valley, according to the Allon Plan of 1967.
