A train will run through

Palestinians condemn train plans
A new plan for a train line linking central Israel to settlements deep in the West Bank... The project was quickly denounced by a spokesman for the Palestinian government in the West Bank. "This shows not only Israel's short-term illegal activities in terms of settlement expansion, but its long-term planning and execution of colonial projects that aim at nothing less than ending the two-state solution," Husam Zomlot said. A different Israeli train project, a new fast rail line from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, has also angered Palestinians because the route veers into the West Bank. That line is already under construction.
