The tender is for the renovation, expansion and operation of the desalination plant in Ashkelon, amounting to 220 million cubic meters of water per year.

The fuel is to be transferred via the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt to power the desalination and sewage facilities run by UNRWA.

Israel will provide Jordan with desalinated water in exchange for solar electricity produced in Jordan in a plant built by the UAE.

The plan sees the solar farm entering operation by 2026 and producing 2 percent of Israel’s energy by 2030.

The new Sorek 2 facility, with the production capacity of 200 million cubic meters of water per year, is expected to be the largest of its kind in the world, increasing the state’s desalination capacity by 35%.

But by avoiding a crisis in its relationship with the US, the Israeli decision may have invited a similar crisis with the Chinese government.

The firm that wins the tender would operate it for 25 years.

With extreme drought conditions continuing to intensify, the government of Israel approved a plan in 2018 to pump desalinated water into the lake.

"The main fear is that 2019 will be the sixth drought year and, as a result, in certain places there may be disruptions in the supply of water.”

And so, Israel once again claims the role of the world's Desali-Nation, utilizing a process that extracts mineral components from saline water.

A new infrastructure project will pump water back into the Kinneret, saving the Sea of Galilee and the Galil.

"Those countries that excel in innovation will lead the world. We are making a partnership here, a real one, to excel in innovation for both our peoples and for the entire world.”

Israeli farmers upriver from the Kinneret have been refused an increase of 11 billion gallons annually, precisely the amount Jordan continues to siphon from the lake for its own agriculture.

Jordan and Israel signed an historic agreement Thursday to implement the Red Sea-Dead Sea rescue pipeline project.

Sometimes we get what we pray for.

The Red-Dead Sea Project signed in Washington is a multi-billion dollar excuse for a political project that might not have any necessity if Israel were to start using one of its new resources – water.
