More Details

Summary:

A report on the new city of Rawabi. Reversing four decades of policy, the United States has declared Israeli settlements in the West Bank are not in violation of international law. Palestinians have long hoped to establish a state in this area. Rawabi is the biggest construction project in modern Palestian history and the first planned city for Palestinians in more than 1,000 years. Bashar Masri created the city and is one of the richest men in the Palestinian territories, making his money through real estate. Since Rawabi's opening in 2015, about 5,000 people have moved in. The city boasts schools, upscale shopping, eateries, an indoor amusement park, and extreme sports. Though some Palestinians see him as a traitor for dealing with the Israeli government, Masri sees Rawabi as the new Palestine. About 5,000 people work in the city, aiding the economy, and a third of its engineers are women. Includes interviews with Hadeel Jaradat, a mechanical engineer in Rawabi; and Eyal Waldman, head of Mellanox, one of the world's leading computer chip manufacturers.
