'The Duke of Nablus': The journey of one of the wealthiest Palestinians - Adam Rasgon & Udi Shaham - The Jerusalem Post 10.12.16
Munib al-Masri, 82, is the wealthiest Palestinian in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. ‘We recognised the State of Israel, there’s nothing more to be done on our side. You need to decide, will you take the Arab Peace Initiative, or be an occupier?’

And see: In Palestinian city of the future, few residents and charges of collusion with Israel - Yardena Schwartz – JTA 21.01.16
Having spent much of his early life resisting the Israeli occupation, Rawabi developer Bashar Masri, a nephew of Munib al-Masri, is accused of colluding with it - a charge he rejects out of hand; if it were not Palestinians building on those hills, he says, it would be Israeli settlers... Rawabi is in fact defying the occupation.
