The group is hoping to set up a meeting between King Abdullah of Jordan together with Ehud Barak, Prime Minister of Israel, and Yassir Arafat, leader of the Palestinian Authority. One of the plans on the table would use about a billion dollars of foreign aid to create 500 million gallons of new water through improved water operations, conservation and desalination. Eaton said that making this water available would give positive impetus to the peace process and contribute to stability in the region, making it a good investment for donor countries like the U.S. and Germany. For the cost of one day's expenses of the ground war in Iraq, there would be enough new water to make the Israeli and Palestinian Final Status Negotiations much easier. Land, Jerusalem and refugees are very hard to resolve.
Water is easier.
