#1 The local initiatives seem to be multiplying in a very constructive way. The Egypt-Jordan tunnel, along with the Egypt-Israel land swap enlarging Gaza (I suspect for relocating Palestinian refugees living in Jordan to Gaza, permanently, and cutting them off from reliance on the West Bank, creating TWO de facto Palestinian states, along with creating a VERY profitable Iraq-Jordan-Egypt trade route.)
Then the possible seawater canal to stop smuggling tunnels, with a redevelopment and security plan for Gaza.
But the Egyptians are front and center for bringing it all about, or pieces thereof. This is all very interesting and novel.

#2 "Seawater canal"?

Um, can you explain that one? Are they going to make the Sinai an island?

#3 It was in yesterday's RB. It was a canal to be about 20m deep and runs to Rafah.
