Why would someone from the UAE go to a desert (and expensive) destination like Eilat? It makes 0,00 sense.

Without getting into the politics of it all, I wonder if this is really driven by the desire to collect overflight fees, because revenue is revenue at this point, or to truly be diplomatic. Either way, it's quite the positive development for all involved - and it's about time. If that's what is dri...
Jump to postGiven the lack of a rail link to Eilat, and the move from ETH to ETM, this move essentially cuts it off for convenient travel. Eilat has never been a decent tourist attraction and now this dump is also hard to get to.

Jump to postRamat David is well within internationally recognized boundaries of Israel and has nothing to do with the West Bank.
