I-West Bank inegama lokungazinzi, iindawo zokujonga umkhosi kunye nesoyikiso esihlala sikhona semfazwe kunye no-Israyeli.
Kodwa i-UK ikhuthaza lo mmandla njengelanga, ulwandle kunye nendawo yezilwanyana zasendle kubakhenkethi baseBritane.
Kubantu abangaziyo, umfanekiso wemimandla yasePalestine akunakwenzeka ukuba ube ngomnye weflip flops, suntan lotion kunye ne-pre-dinner gin-and-tonics njengomhlambi weendlovu uzulazula elundini.
Kodwa kwiqela elincinane leengcaphephe zokhenketho zaseBritane kuthumo lokufumana inyaniso kwi-West Bank ekhokelwa yi-UK Trade & Investment ministry, ilizwe elingekho ngokusemthethweni likwakunye nesithembiso esifihlakeleyo.
I-West Bank iqhayisa ngenani elimangalisayo leendawo ezibukekayo ezifana neenduli zentlango ezimangalisayo zeWadi Qelt.
Abakhenkethi abakhaliphileyo abaza kungena apha basenokungayiboni indlovu, kodwa baphantse babone isizalwane sayo sebhayoloji esisondeleyo, ihyrax.
Usapho lwezi zilwanyana zifana neempuku, ezifana nenkangeleko yehagu ihumbler, zatsala umdla weengcali zaseBritani, ezathi zazifunda ngokusondeleyo ngeteleskopu.
Kodwa ukuba ithemba lokuba ihagu enkulu kakhulu ayinayo iBhritane ithontelana kwiWest Bank, iyadi yangasemva yeHyrax inokungqina isixhobo esithengiswa ngakumbi.
Uyolulela ezantsi eYeriko, iinduli eziqengqelekayo apho uYesu kukholelwa ukuba wabhadula khona kangangeentsuku ezingamashumi amane zifumana indawo ekhohlakeleyo kodwa emangalisayo yentlango exutywe nemithi yesundu kunye ne-ziziphus. Amabhodlo omjelo waseRoma ayekufuphi, ngoxa umzi woonongendi ophezu kweNtaba yeSilingo wawubonakala mgama.
Abantu baseBritane abaza apha banokuhamba intlambo kwaye baqubhe kwimithombo ye-oasis, ngokuka-Imad Atrash, intloko yePalestinian Wildlife Society. IWadi Qelt ikwayindawo ebalulekileyo yeentaka ezifudukayo.
Ngala mandla athe akhokelela kurhulumente waseBhritane, exhaswa yinkulumbuso, wathembisa ngokuthengisa iWest Bank njengendawo yokhenketho.
Ukanti bekukho nezikhumbuzo zokuba iWest Bank ihleli iphantsi komkhosi wase-Israel. Iindawo zokuhlala zamaYuda ezithe ngcu phezu kweenduli ezimbini phezu komlanjana, zinomfanekiso wokuba zikwanti, ngoxa ukudubula kompu ngequbuliso kwakubonisa ubukho boluhlu olukufuphi lomkhosi wamaSirayeli.
"Imveliso kufuneka iphuhliswe ukuba iya kuphumelela," utshilo uPaul Taylor we-UK Trade & Investment, inkokeli yemishini equka umcebisi wezokhenketho emva kongquzulwano kunye nezinye iingcali zaseBritani kuphuhliso lokhenketho. "Kukho ingxaki yomfanekiso ekufuneka ilungiswe."
Umnumzana Taylor ugxininise ukuba uhambo oluya eWest Bank aluyi kuba yiholide yesihogo, echaza ukuba imeko yokhuseleko iphucukile.
Ewe, iOfisi yezangaphandle ayisalumkisi malunga nokuya kwi-West Bank nangona ilumkisa abakhenkethi ukuba "imeko ihleli ibuthathaka kwaye inokuwohloka ngokukhawuleza".
Ukanti eminye imiqobo isekhona, hayi kancinci ukungabikho kwesivumelwano soxolo soMbindi Mpuma.
Kodwa iingcali zikwaxhalabile ngokunqongophala kweziseko zophuhliso ezifanelekileyo zeholide kunye nenyaniso yokuba uninzi lwecandelo lezokhenketho eliseWest Bank lilawulwa nguSirayeli.
Unxweme loLwandle oluFileyo, into enye enomtsalane ecacileyo, ilele kwindawo yomkhosi wase-Israel evalelwe abantu basePalestine kwaye iindawo ekuchithelwa kuzo iiholide ziphantsi kolawulo lwakwa-Israeli.
Ngokunjalo iBethlehem, eyona ndawo iphambili yokhenketho yeWest Bank, itsala kuphela uninzi lwabahambi bemini benkolo abaya ngobusuku eYerusalem, nto leyo ethetha ukuba i-85 pesenti yengeniso yokhenketho ilahlekile.
Nangona kunjalo, i-mission ibonakala iqinisekile ukuba ukhenketho lwe-West Bank luhlala luyiprojekthi esebenzayo.
“Iyandichulumancisa ngokwenene,” utshilo u-Alison Cryer, usihlalo woMbutho wezoKhenketho omele ngaphezu kwe-1,000 leengcali zokhenketho zaseBritani. "Andiboni nto ngaphandle kokunokwenzeka."
