Government said advancing plan to build artificial islands off coast
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has established a team to explore the possibility of building artificial islands off Israel’s Mediterranean coastline, Hadashot news reports.
The team, headed by National Economic Council head Prof. Avi Simhon, will explore the feasibility of transferring infrastructure facilities to the islands, freeing up in-demand real estate for housing development.
The Reading power station in northern Tel Aviv is among the facilities slated to be moved.
According to the report, the initiative will be debated by ministers at Sunday’s cabinet meeting.
