In Israel, a multi-cultural state, the road signs are written in Hebrew, Arabic and English. Here is how the Palestinian Authority is planning for their future...with US funds: US funding West Bank signs

New road signs in Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank will be in Arabic and English, without Hebrew, a US official said on Thursday.

The spokesperson for the US Consulate in Jerusalem, Mindy Masonis, said the new signs would be part of a larger programme aimed at improving conditions in the West Bank.

The development is seen as part of the preparation for a future Palestinian state...

...Masonis said no signs were being taken down, but the new ones in the Palestinian areas would be in Arabic and English. The sign project accounts for about $175 000 of a three-year $20m aid project to improve services in the West Bank.
