Israel proposes railroad to Saudi Arabia via Jordan

‘The Israeli regime has proposed construction of a railroad connecting the occupied territories to Saudi Arabia via Jordan.
Transport Minister Yisrael Katz said on Wednesday that Washington had also welcomed the plan, but he declined to say whether Riyadh and Amman had supported the proposal.
The link is designed to connect the Saudi port of Daman in the Persian Gulf via Jordan to the Mediterranean port of Haifa in northern Israel, according to the Israeli minister.
