;Gilboa region
Joint economic cooperation between Israeli officials in [[Gilboa Regional Council|Gilboa]] and Palestinian officials in [[Jenin]] has begun to have major results and benefits. In October 2009, a new project got underway promoting tourism and travel between the two areas. Major new business efforts and tourist attractions have been initiated in Jenin.<ref>[http://fr.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1254861904553&pagename=JPArticle%2FShowFull Jenin now open to Arab-Israeli and foreign tourists]{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, by Ron Friedman, ''Jerusalem Post'', 10/9/09.</ref> The two regions are planning a joint industrial zone which would bridge the border. Palestinians would produce locally-made handicrafts and sell them through Gilboa to other regions of the world. Another possible project is a joint language center, where Israelis and Palestinians would teach each other Arabic and Hebrew, as well as aspects of their cultural heritage.<ref>[http://fr.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1255547725256&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FPrinter Mutually assured prosperity] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110916025829/http://fr.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1255547725256&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FPrinter |date=September 16, 2011 }}, by Ron Friedman, ''Jerusalem Post'', 10/15/09.</ref>
