West Bank, Gaza to Get Overseas Phones Back
- Share via
JERUSALEM — Israel began reconnecting international telephone lines to the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip on Sunday after cutting them last March, a spokesman for the civil administration said.
Israeli authorities had instructed international operators not to place calls from the occupied territories to prevent coordination between Palestinians staging an anti-Israel uprising and Palestinian leaders abroad.
The reconnection is expected to take several days.
