(Globes) Danny Zaken - Diplomatic sources in Israel and Jordan familiar with the recent meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Jordan's King Abdullah say Jordan showed a willingness not to condition progress on economic and political issues with Israel on the Palestinian issue. It was also agreed that the Green and Blue Prosperity Agreement signed between Israel, UAE and Jordan in 2021 would be speeded up. According to the agreement, Jordan would build huge solar fields to supply electricity to Israel, Israel will build a large desalination plant on the Mediterranean to supply water to Jordan, and the UAE will finance the projects.
