“Despite the [constant] political tumult, a major Palestinian cultural foundation” – A.M. Qattan Foundation, currently based in London – “is preparing to open its new headquarters to the public on 28 June in Ramallah … Construction on the AMQF building began in 2012 and was scheduled for completion in 2016, but the constraints of working in the region have caused a series of setbacks. The local construction industry is not used to this level of complexity and detail, … [and] it was difficult to transport materials across the Israeli border and to find skilled workers, as many are tempted by the higher salaries in Israel.”
