so they could use the pipes to make weapons?

• Israel has been giving its own water to Palestinians, over and above the supplement agreed on in the Oslo Accords—an international treaty signed by Israeli and Palestinian leaders.

• Israel has given the West Bank 60-70 mcm per year, three times more than the agreed amount of 28.6 mcm per year, to supplement the West Bank’s own supplies of fresh water.

• Israel continues to pump 5 mcm into Gaza annually, as agreed on in the Oslo Accords.

• Israel built two desalination plants in Gaza. When Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, it gave the entire water system it had developed for Israeli settlements to the Palestinians, including 25 wells, storage reservoirs, and a well-developed transmission system.

• Israel began treating sewage from Gaza in 2017 after the territory's treatment facility was shut down.
