Restrictions Recommendations Land Confiscation on Use and Access Introduction 125 • Encourage and direct construction companies and/or contractors to invest in projects, particularly those located in Area C of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip Buffer Zone and Jerusalem; • Connect property to public services and facilities (i.e. networks of electricity, water, telephone, roads, etc.); • Encourage and facilitate public and private investment, and seek civic assistance to cultivate and develop the at-risk property through voluntary work and popular initiatives; • Expand infrastructure and construction, particularly to isolated communities, as a prerequisite to facilitating Palestinian access to health, education, job market and recreational facilities; • Improve roads in order to facilitate land access and support activities in the land. Recommendations to the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority: • Promote initiatives that hold Israel accountable to international law, including calls for criminal investigation and prosecution, reparations for Palestinian victims and rights-based durable solutions for displaced persons; • Adopt the civil society call for boycott, divestment and sanctions of Israel. Specifically, call on states to suspend economic cooperation with and apply embargos on arms trade with Israel; • Reject the compartmentalization of the occupied Palestinian territory and challenge its associated regime of restrictions by establishing a planning and development strategy accompanied with a cumulative implementation process. This will necessarily require: o o Designing a Palestinian (national) master plan that will envision horizontal growth to address the residential crisis, necessarily requiring maximum land use within the shortest timeframe; Devoting an adequate quota of the public budget of the Palestinian Authority to cover the costs of construction permits, legal assistance and petitions.
