This paper is a second follow-up discussion concerning the role, economic viability and operational characteristics of the Negev Continental Bridge in the fluid geo-political atmosphere of the Middle East. The two previous papers (Geoforum8, 29–32 and 311–318) discussed the viability of the Israeli Continental Bridge as an alternative to the Suez Canal. Now, two years after the Canal was re-opened for use by Israeli vessels, the annual amount of cargo movement across the Israeli land bridge is still growing, although it is less economical than the Suez Canal. It is thus suggested that there is a need to view the continental bridge as one part of a chain in an intermodal transport system. 相似文献

In a paper written immediately after the reopening of the Suez Canal in 1975, a question was raised: is the Israeli Negev a viable alternative to the Suez Canal? (Geoforum, 8, 29–32, 1977). The answer posted then was pessimistic — the continental land bridge was seen as having failed to function as a real alternative.Now, two years after the reopening of the Canal, it appears that the land bridge seems to be a more economically viable venture than previously suggested. The amount of cargo in transit over the land bridge and its percentage of the total port of Eilat traffic is increasing despite competition from the Canal. This phenomenon and new perspectives on the Negev land bridge are discussed in this follow-up paper. 相似文献

The cargo movement over the continental bridge annually since 1970 is shown in Table 2. These figures should be compared with the (dry) volume of trade via Eilat annually (see third column of the same table) and they include the traffic via the continental bridge. From this table it is clear that the amount of cargo in transit over the bridge was not a major component of the total traffic through Eilat. 相似文献

The dramatic proposal to link the Mediterranean Sea to the Dead Sea by a canal or tunnel, for the purpose of power generation, is currently being investigated in Israel. This paper examines the various route alignments which have been advocated and suggests that the two Southern routes present the potentially greatest advantages. These are then discussed at greater detail, and attention directed to outlining the range of possible economic advantages as well as potential ecological impacts. 相似文献

Unlike other bi-national cities, Eilat and Aqaba constitute a special case in which the interaction between the two cities
is dependent upon external factors, mainly of a political nature. Eilat in Israel and Aqaba in Jordan straddle each side of
the Gulf of Aqaba. Both are similar from a functional aspect: they are port and tourism towns and both constitute a gateway
to east Africa and the Far East. They are both situated in a desert region near a sea. The Oslo Accords and subsequently the
peace agreement between Jordan and Israel, have opened up many possibilities for cooperation and joint development activity.
A number of projects have been put forward, including a joint airport aimed at serving both cities, as well as the shared
use of the seaports. Tour packages from Europe to both cities are another feature that holds a substantial economic potential,
as do connecting roads and joint plans for the preservation of the unique landscape in this region. A border-crossing point
between the two countries has been opened up and tens of thousands of tourists have flocked (mostly from Israel) to visit
nearby Petra and Wadi Ram. Laborers from Jordan have begun to be seen in Eilat, working mostly in construction. The long history
of the Arab-Israeli conflict is still casting a heavy shadow on the great possibilities for cooperation. The signing of a
peace treaty is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for the bringing about of cooperation in the field. The enmity
and the military activity between Israel and the Palestinians, especially during recent months since the outbreak the intifada
for the second time, have resulted in a drastic decline in cooperation that started initially at a slow and hesitant pace
following the signing of the peace treaty with Jordan (1994). The fact that about 60% of the Jordanian population is of Palestinian
origin, causes the Jordanian government to maintain a cautious stance in promoting cooperation with Israel. Thus, the development
of Eilat and Aqaba as a bi-national city is, to a great extent, dependent on the advancement of the peace process between
Israel and all its Arab neighbors, and especially on the outcome of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
