BERLIN (AFP) — International donors committed 242 million dollars on Tuesday for security infrastructure in the Palestinian territories, a German government source said on the sidelines of a conference here.

The money will be passed to the Palestinian Authority over the next three years and will be spent on grassroots measures like putting more police on the beat and building police stations and courthouses to create conditions for a viable Palestinian state.
