Dispute over water access in the West Bank and Gaza
Human-rights organizations and international bodies have accused Mekorot and the Israeli water-governance system of contributing to unequal Palestinian and Israeli access to water. Criticism concerns infrastructure control, well locations, permit requirements, settlement supply and interruptions affecting Gaza. The allegations are politically contested and should be read alongside the company's role as an operator acting within Israeli state policy and intergovernmental arrangements.
