Israeli Tourist Trap ‘Herod’s Pool’ Is Draining Palestinians’ Land Dry

There is an old place in the West Bank. It is a big water holder called Herod's Pool. This summer, the pool gets water again. Israeli lawmakers want many people to visit this place. They say it is a good spot for tourists.

But there is a problem. The water for Herod's Pool comes from Palestinian farms. This means the farms do not have enough water now. The land where farmers grow food becomes very dry. Farmers cannot grow their plants easily when there is no water. This makes it hard for them to live and work.

So, on one side, people want to visit an old pool for fun. On the other side, families need water for their farms. This situation makes life difficult for many Palestinian people who need water for their land. It is a big problem about water and land in the West Bank.
