Israel revives plans for high-speed train to compete with Suez Canal

Israel’s media headlines are once again buzzing over plans for the high-speed Israeli railway to Eilat, linking the Red Sea to the Mediterranean and thereby competing with the Suez Canal that brings Egypt about nine billion dollars annually.

This was the introduction of a report by the “Israel Defense” magazine, issued by the Israeli army, about the high-speed train project that Israel once again seeks to revive.

Tel Aviv is heating up its engines against Egypt and the Israeli government is working to compete with the revenues of the Suez Canal with a fast railway linking the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, the writer of the article Ami Rojkes Dombe, said.
