A waterway for Gaza — through Cyprus?

Hamas sources say the Palestinian delegation in Cairo is waiting for Israel’s response to a European proposal for a waterway between Gaza and Cyprus, Ynet reports.

Goods headed for the Gaza Strip would undergo checks in Larnaca by international inspectors agreed to by both sides before making their way to their final destination.

The route would operate temporarily while a seaport in Gaza would be built, the report says.

According to Walla, citing a Hamas paper, the proposal for such a route was submitted by the Americans.
