The mayor of Hebron, Tayseer Abu Sneineh, confirmed that the main goal of reducing water quantities is to increase the settlers' share of water at the expense of the share of the Hebron and Bethlehem governorates, indicating that reducing the amount of water coming into the Hebron governorate will negatively affect the period of water interruption for citizens, explaining that the cycle Water distribution after the reduction has reached approximately 35 days, pointi ng out the irregularity in the arrival of the allocated water quantities, which will lead to confusion in the water distribution schedule. Abu Sneineh appealed to the international community and human rights institutions to urgently intervene to resolve this crisis and not aggravate it, especially since we are approaching the summer season, stressing that access to water is a basic right that must be defended Source: Maan News Agency
