Twenty-three UN ambassadors who visited Israel last week toured Judea and Samaria, Israel Hayom has learned. It was the first time a delegation of this magnitude staged an official visit to the area.

The tour took place as part of the Samaria Regional Council's foreign relations and public diplomacy efforts. It was led by Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon.

UN ambassadors from Poland, Romania, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Guatemala, and Haiti, among others, participated in the tour.

The ambassadors met with Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan, visited the Barkan ‎Industrial Park and met with Palestinians and Israelis working there.

Located just north of the cross-Samaria highway, ‎the Barkan Industrial Park is home to 164 businesses that ‎employ some 4,200 Palestinians and 3,000 Israelis. ‎The waiting list to set up facilities in the park, ‎one of the most sought-after industrial zones in ‎Israel, currently includes 60 companies.‎

"We have seen Arab and Israeli coexistence in factories and we think this is a very important project. By buying these products, we can give peace a real chance," said Bosnia and Herzegovina Ambassador to the UN Sven Alkalaj.

Danon said that "the visit helps us to present the truth about Israel."
