\r\n\tA proposed artificial island and seaport off the besieged Gaza Strip coast appears to be sinking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking rejecting the plan, citing what he calls ‘an inability to guarantee goods and people entering and exiting the port are monitored and checked.’
\r\n\t
\r\n\tInterviewed by Israel Hayom, Netanyahu called security checks at the port "problematic."
\r\n\t
\r\n\tContrary to Netanyahu's and Lieberman's stated positions, Israeli security authorities maintain there is no security reason not to build the island, the daily said.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tSources at the Foreign Ministry and the Finance Ministry also believe that an offshore seaport is an appropriate solution from a diplomatic and financial perspective.<\/p>","content_source":null,"content_url":null,"content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2016-08-07 17:09:17","content_date_finish":"2016-08-07 17:09:17","content_date_register":"2016-08-07 17:09:17","content_date_last_edit":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"1","content_show_related_img":"1","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"0","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"1","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","old_id":"127640","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"3742181922","attach_date_register":"2016-08-07 17:09:20","attach_id":"136046","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"345","attach_img_height":"224","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"283","visit_date_last":"2025-05-12 18:43:07","attach_title":"Netanyahu reject plan to build Gaza port","node_title":"news","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":122, \"left\":2, \"right\":53}]"}]]
