The Israeli authorities decided on Thursday to allow entry of Israeli-Arab citizens and their vehicles to the West Bank city of Qalqilia without permissions, starting from tomorrow Friday.
The said decision came after all Israelis including Arabs, have been prevented access into this Palestinian city for the past three years. Some of West Bank cities are adjacent to the Israeli territories in what is called the 'Green Line'.
Following the establishment of the Israeli state on Arab-owned lands in 1948, many Palestinian Arabs remained in their lands, which later followed the jurisdiction of the newly-born Hebrew state.
