Israel signs a declaration of intent with neighboring Jordan on building a major solar power plant in the kingdom that will be used to generate electricity for Israel, as well as power a desalination plant in Israel that will send water to Jordan.

The deal is signed in the United Arab Emirates by the two countries’ energy ministers.
