Officials said Palestinians who live in the West Bank and work in Israel will be prohibited from riding the same buses as Israelis on the return home beginning on Wednesday. "Under a three-month pilot project, Palestinians who work in Israel will, starting Wednesday, need to return home by the same crossing without taking buses used by (Israeli) residents" of the occupied West Bank," a defense ministry official told the AFP. Hundreds of Palestinians commute to Israel every day from the West Bank using travel permits. Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said the ban would lead to "better control of the Palestinians and those leaving Israel and reduce security risks," Israeli public radio reported.
