Israel says it is circumventing Yemen’s Red Sea blockade with a “land bridge” connecting it to Saudi Arabia and the UAE via Jordan. This is simply a charade to hide that Yemen’s blockade is working.

  1. Israel’s supply lines have been impacted due to various blockades and strikes during its genocidal war on Gaza.

  2. A not-so-successful Israeli company, Trucknet, claimed to establish a “land bridge” connecting the Gulf to Israel through Jordan.

  3. Trucknet’s claims of a partnership with a UAE-based company called Puretrans have been questioned due to lack of evidence and suspicious stock price fluctuations.

  4. Israel’s Transportation Minister, Miri Regev, has made statements supporting the existence of the land bridge, but no concrete evidence has been provided.

  5. The concept of the land bridge is part of the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridors (IMEC) announced in September 2022, aiming to foster connectivity and economic integration.

  6. Despite the claims, there is little evidence of a significant or functional “land bridge” between Israel, Jordan, and the Gulf.

      I’m not lol I actually support Palestinian people. My criticisms purely lie with the tone of this article - it isn’t news journalism, but an activist’s blog piece.

      But given that you seem to want to scarecrow me I doubt you have the intellectual capacity to understand any sort of nuance.

      I’ve called out plenty of Ukrainian articles myself also, and with Israeli articles it’s like shooting fish in a barrel. I dig my heels in the sand and call out bullshit wherever I see it, just like I’m calling you out right now.
