Gaza reconstruction: vision of former World Bank chief remains unrealised – The National
As former World Bank president James Wolfensohn flew in Israeli army helicopter above a fenced crossing between the West Bank and Israel, he remarked that it reminded him of a similar set-up in his home country.
“In Australia, we use it for cattle,” he told the Israeli officer who was proudly pointing out the automated gates at the crossing near Jenin in 2005.
Wolfensohn at the time was serving as the special envoy for Gaza disengagement, representing the Quartet for Middle East Peace.
