Jerusalem:
Israel will certainly build a 254-kilometre (158 mile) fibre-optic cable between the Mediterranean and Red Sea, producing a constant link between Europe, the Gulf nations and Asia, the Finance Ministry stated on Sunday.
State-possessed power team EAPC will certainly build the cable along the path of an oil pipe it runs between the Mediterranean port of Ashkelon and Eilat on the north Red Sea, the ministry stated in a declaration.
Any telecommunications business accredited in Israel will certainly have accessibility to the cable, which will certainly be attached to subsea wires originating from Europe, Asia and the Middle East, it stated.
