Rawabi nears opening after Israel OKs water access

Clip: 3/12/2015 | 8m 5s

The brand new Palestinian city, Rawabi, is set to open its doors in May.

It has been more than two years since a Palestinian-American businessman raised $1 billion to build Rawabi, a new Palestinian city on the West Bank with the hope that it will create prosperity and peace in the area. Now, the first planned city designed for a population of at least 40,000 people is putting the finishing touches on its infrastructure and will open its doors in June.
