Israel gives go-ahead to railway link with Saudi Arabia: Report

Mon Jun 25, 2018 06:09AM

Israeli officials are taking part in a test ride on a new train route near the northern city of Carmiel on March 21, 2017.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Transportation Minister Israel Katz have agreed to promote a rail link with Saudi Arabia, Israeli media reports say.

Katz and Netanyahu agreed in a meeting this week on the details of the project which would link Haifa’s seaport to Jordan’s rail network and that of Saudi Arabia and other Arab states, the Times of Israel quoted Hadashot news as saying.

Netanyahu then instructed his office to begin advancing the plan in consultations with the US, European Union, and various countries in the Middle East and Asia, the report said. 

The line will also include a stop in the northern West Bank city of Jenin, connecting Palestinians to the network.

According to a new PR video from Netanyahu and Katz’s offices, the project is expected to take a relatively short time due to the existing transportation infrastructure in Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the Persian Gulf Arab states.

“Beyond its contribution to Israel’s economy … the initiative will connect Israel economically and politically to the region and will consolidate the pragmatic camp in the region,” Katz explained when discussing the plan back in April.

Dennis Weiss, a political pundit on Israel's channel 2, said the administration of US President Donald Trump supports the project which comes amid reports of warming ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Katz has said that he has spoken with the leaders of the relevant countries regarding the initiative, but there is no indication that any of them have agreed to its application.

In March, Saudi Arabia opened its airspace to Air India flights to and from the Israeli-occupied territories.

Saudi Arabia and Israel have no official diplomatic relations, but their relations have been rapidly growing over the past months, according to reports.

The regime in Riyadh has even drawn up a roadmap to normalize ties with Israel and go public about their long secret cooperation.

Netanyahu recently described Israel's relations with the Arab world as at their “best ever.”

On Friday, Israel's Maariv newspaper reported that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Netanyahu had held secret meetings in Amman.

Jacky Hugi, the political analyst of the newspaper, said, “A close friend told me about the incident, claiming that there were direct contacts between the two parties, both Saudi and Israeli, under the auspices of King Abdullah of Jordan.”

Abyssinia and Israel. What's the connection besides the Lion of Judah? 

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

Israel  supplies arms to Ethiopia  since the time of haile selassie. It trains Ethiopian forces. The Ethiopian said that the Eritrean independence war is an Arab war against Ethiopia.  Ethiopia than moved in and started training sending arms to haile selassie. They were suprised when afeweki met Israeli forces  in 1982 and told them Eritrea is not against Israeli and Jewish interest in the middle east. We are a secular independence movement EPLF .and when Eritrea gained independence Israel and Eritrea forged close ties.

Abyssinia Tigray had big Jewish population and they still do have some even in high places. The Amhara kilil also had some. but those were converted and are going back to Jewish.
