No thanks to John Kerry, Israel waters the ground for peace

If the Biden administration doesn’t imitate the Obama administration by getting in the way of progress, Israel will continue to prove itself a partner for Middle East peace, not a source of belligerence.

The latest example of Israel’s cooperation with the Muslim world came last week when it signed an energy-water accord with the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. A company owned by the UAE government will build a solar energy plant in Jordan, which will sell the energy to Israel. Israel will then quadruple the amount of desalinated water it provides Jordan, up to 200 million cubic meters annually. If Israel’s current desalination plants don’t provide enough water, the Jewish state may build a new facility.
