Jordan Canal Nears End in Israel Arab Tensions
Tel Aviv reports the Jordan River diversion project as a flashpoint in Arab Israeli tensions. Ben Gurion faces Arab resistance as Israel pushes to complete the last segment of a 26 mile canal to tap 40 percent of the Jordan water. Officials warn of war if the project proceeds. The plan aims to triple Israel water resources and power output, despite UN objections and regional hostility. Abraham Cohen calls the canal life or death for Israel’s water supply, while Arabs cite shared water sources and fear loss of water from the Lebanese and Syrian basins.
