in May 2007, King Abdullah was to lay the foundation stone for a $1.5 billion bridge project that would link the Kingdom to neighbouring Egypt. The bridge will link the Sinai region of Egypt, close to the Sharm el-Sheikh resort town, to the northwest of Saudi Arabia near Ras el-Sheikh Humayd. Two bridges would be built to span the Gulf of Aqaba and Tiran Strait, with Tiran Island used as a halfway point for the 25 km crossing. Tiran Island belongs to Saudi Arabia and conceded to Egypt for security matter. The project was halted by pressure from the US on the request of Israel.

Now he is outright lying. the jordanians had nothing to do with the bridge. no foundation stone or something else. it still is an egyptian project and would cost 3 and not 1.5 billion, financed by a kuweiti group, the plan was never scrapped amd there was no pressure from the US on the request of israel. actually tje plan goes back to the 80's . STOP LYING!!

What essentially amounts to the blood libel has been put against Jews for centuries by Anti-semites. One of the first ones was 2,000 years ago by the paga Greco-Egyptian, Apion. Several have been leveled against Jews by several cultures including plenty in the Arab countries to this day. In fact the Elders of Zion is a best seller in the literature poor Arabic-speaking world. On Arab television programs which I have seen... I have seen them perpetuate the blood libel of killing boys to use blood in the matza. You are obviously one of them and your blood libel fictions are not welcome.

The revived project was to be financed by Saudi Arabia. then, who are the first PM & first president of Israel? .. [first PM] David Ben Gurion went to New York before he came to visit Jerusalem, and [first President] Haim Weitzman hated the city.

the project was never revived, it's still on ice. and what's the connection to ben gurion or weitzman?

Al Quds-3 is a rocket is based on the Russian Grad and BM21 Katyusha. The new rocket, test-fired against Ashkelon on March 28, 2006, weighs 66 kilograms and carries 17 kilograms of explosives. The 122 mm launcher fires 10 rockets simultaneously to a distance of 18–30 kilometers. The system, capable of firing 40 rockets within 20 seconds, weighs 13 tons and enables Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to strike Ashkelon, Ashdod, Netivot and Ofakim. The rockets are launched by a crew that pulls back approximately 60 meters from the launcher and releases the rockets by pulling a wire. The rocket traveled 24 kilometers, exceeding the 20 km range of a standard 122 mm Katyusha. Judged by the range, those rockets must have been launched from Haql city in Saudi Arabia; 25 km from Eilat.

Jordan said: from outside land. ???, each question mark defines a country.

Whats worth probing? We have a grave for Egyptian soldiers who were killed in wartime. There are tens of thousands of dead Egyptian soldiers in Sinai from 1967 when Israel bombed their armored vehicles with napalm. Nobody thinks thats worth any kind of investigation or even condemns Israel over it so whats the big deal about Eilat? For sure Israel continued its campaign in 1948/49 .. the UN proposed giving Israel 51% of Palestine in 1947 in 1949 when the ceasefire was declared Israel had 78% not including land it returned to countries like Egypt. Thats how things work in wars you capture land and decide on its future later. So the UN ordered a ceasefire at some point how do you know exactly the arabs were willing to go for it? You can't assume Israel was against it because it has territorial ambitions and the arabs were saying please Israel lets accept this ceasefire. Also don't forget who started the war ( not Israel ). Israel has no desire to go to all the trouble of an investigation into the deaths of enemy soldiers who were killed trying to destroy it over 60 years ago .. nobody cares. Would anybody hold a probe into the deaths of Nazi soldiers today or would we just say its not worth bothering over. Nobody cares anymore what happened to them.

Not mine, folks. I actually know how to use punctuation.

according to all sources the police station at today's elath was not occupied in 1948. see jordanian sources. no egyptian politician , not even mr anti israel nasser claimed there was a massacre of egtptian troops at the said police station. observer you are a joke| a BATTALION OF EGYPTIANS would have defended itself and the israeli record of 48 would show a military victory. not even one egyptian army source says something about this mysterious battalion. when elath was captured the egyptian army was in full retreat across sinai, the israelis close to el arish. and you really nelieve they would have wasted a batallion to defend a stretch of pepple beach? the sources you use ponder if it was not a battle between ottoman and egyptians in 1906. it does not pay to say half the truth.
