Concurrent with Israel's attacks on Gaza, the Ben Gurion Canal project, first proposed as an alternative to the Suez Canal in the 1960s, became the center of debate. So what exactly is this channel project? When did it appear? Is it feasible?

It is not right to blame the disaster we are witnessing in Palestine on one wretched leader! The Prime Minister of Israel is not the only one to blame for these calamities that befell my people. I would not blame him alone for the fact that Israeli bombs are destroying every corner of Gaza today, and children are dying under the rubble. Even in 2013, when I heard on the news that my people were being massacred in Gaza, I did not blame him alone.
