Israel, EU Hold Talks on Possible Train Between Israel, Gulf States, Europe
Israel’s Finance Ministry announced that representatives from Israel and the European Union have begun discussions on economic cooperation, and the possibility of a rail system connecting Israel, its neighbors, Gulf States, and European Mediterranean companies.
The Jerusalem Post reported that the “regional peace railway” would involve Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the Palestinian Authority, and other Gulf states.
