RAMALLAH, West Bank, December 22, SPA -- The World Bank says Israel can make West Bank cargo crossings more efficient to boost Palestinian trade, even within its system of movement restrictions, Associated Press reported. The bank also said Monday that the Palestinian economy will not recover unless restrictions are eased significantly. Palestinian traders face many obstacles, including roadblocks in the West Bank. Palestinian goods have to be loaded from one truck to another at crossings into Israel or Jordan. The report says it takes two hours on average to move cargo through crossings. Delays are expected to get worse.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/618403
