The Israeli occupation army on Monday notified the mayor of Umm
Safa village in northwestern Ramallah of its intent to block the agricultural
road, which his council and local residents reopened about two months ago with
support from the Palestinian ministry of agriculture.
Umm Safa mayor Marwan Sabah stated that the Israeli army handed
him a notice about its decision to reclose a 2.5-kilometer road serving local
farmers who owns about 2,000 dunums of olive trees.
Mayor Sabah pointed out that the village’s land is entirely
located in Area C of the occupied West Bank, where agricultural and development
projects are prohibited by the Israeli occupation state.
