EU's top diplomat asks if Israel wants to kill all Palestinians, as it flouts two-state solution
Israel’s foreign minister responded to pressure from European Union diplomats to end the war in Gaza and take steps towards a two-state solution with a futuristic video of an artificial island that Israel would control to monitor aid into war-ravaged Gaza.
According to a video of the plan, the international community would finance the project while Israel would retain overall security control of the island and inspection power of deliveries to the island. The bridge connecting the island to Gaza could be shut down, the video says, if the need arises.
Israel’s top diplomat, Israel Katz, has a history of backing mega-infrastructure projects.
He has long been a proponent of building an artificial island linked to Gaza by a bridge that would serve as a logistics hub and Israeli chokepoint for supplies into the besieged enclave.
During his visit to Brussels, Katz also gave a presentation about a pet project of his that the Biden administration endorsed, before war broke out on 7 October, of a railroad linking Israel to India via Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
