Official PA TV program Palestine This Morning, on Israeli towns near Qalqilya, a PA city in the West Bank just over the Green Line northeast of Tel Aviv

Official PA TV reporter: “At this site where we currently are, we see the settlement of Tzur Yigal and the settlement of Kokhav Yair (Kokhav Yair–Tzur Yigal is an Israeli town that merged in 2003 -Ed.), and also a bit to the east [we see] the settlement of Tzofim. Many settlements surround Qalqilya. These settlements are gradually expanding at the expense of the [Palestinian] residents’ lands, while the residents nearby here are forbidden from building and expanding.”
