Gazans yearn for a port on their shoreline. But Israelis say this would pose a security problem. The Israeli Minister of Transportation Israel Katz is instead proposing that the international community coughs up $5 billion to build an artificial island a few miles off the coast of Gaza to supply its residents with water and electricity while keeping them imprisoned and Israel in control. Apparently some members of the Trump administration think this idea might be part of a renewed "peace process."
