Deal insures risk for Palestinians
A U.S. government agency signed a political risk insurance deal with a Palestinian firm Thursday to help guarantee investments in the West Bank, as part of an international effort to develop the beleaguered local economy. The measure is meant to allay concerns by investors that their money is at risk in the turbulent Palestinian territories, especially at a time when the fate of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks is uncertain.
