Globes is reporting that Jordan is planning on building the (first phase of the) Red-Dead Canal on it's own, with no participation from Israel or the PA.

Personally I'm glad that Israel isn't participating in this project, because we gain nothing of value out of it. Not water. Not electricity. Not jobs. Not tourist attractions. Not peace.

I have repeatedly said that if a project like this is to be undertaken, then it must be a Med-Dead Canal - in which case Israel gains electricity, water, jobs, and a tourist attraction.

But I guess that was too much to ask.
