Investment in infrastructure can also bring benefits for peace. Ties are being forged through Israel's solar project with Egypt. This could be enhanced through development of a proposed natural gas pipeline. Linkages to Jordan, and Gaza, also bring with them added benefits of interaction, better understanding, and prospects for peace. The end of the century has taught us that private sector investment makes economies work.
Privatization is important.
This is important. Let's do it together. It provides jobs, it builds communities, and it raises living standards. These are the goals of any society and are necessary for peace. This lesson has not been lost in the Middle East, where investment is dramatically increasing.
