Site O' The Week: MOFA Corridor for Peace and Prosperity
What a great way to start a New Year! Japan has gotten together with the Palestinian Authority to help build two solar energy projects on the West Bank.

Most of the electricity used by Palestinians comes from Israel's power grid and the new structure should bring light to about 20,000 residents.
