"Israel's Prime Minister Explores Energy Cooperation and Fiber Optic Cable Plans in Cyprus"
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has proposed the idea of building a fiber optic cable to connect countries in Asia and the Arabian Peninsula with Europe through Israel and Cyprus. Netanyahu believes that such an infrastructure corridor is feasible if Israel normalizes relations with other countries in the region. This proposal is an extension of energy collaboration plans between Israel, Cyprus, and Greece, including the construction of an undersea electricity cable and a pipeline for offshore natural gas. The leaders of Israel, Cyprus, and Greece are discussing the development of a reliable energy corridor to diversify Europe's energy sources. Additionally, Netanyahu expressed support for creating a regional firefighting hub in Cyprus to combat the increasing threat of wildfires in the region.
