Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told cabinet ministers, Sunday, that he intends to submit a plan for a massive ‘land-bridge’ to the government for its approval. The proposed project would create a bridge from the Gulf of Eilat to the ports of Haifa and Ashdod.
According to Netanyahu, the idea was embraced by the Americans during his visit to Washington last week, where he received many enthusiastic responses. The ‘land-bridge,’ said the Finance Minister, will contribute greatly to development and stability in the region.
Netanyahu also informed the government that he would be meeting the Secretary-General of the Histadrut labor union, Amir Peretz, on Monday, in an attempt to conclude negotiations between the Ministry of Finance and the union.
