This month the Israeli Government announced its decision to support the building of a conduit linking the Red Sea to the Dead Sea.  Friends of the Earth Middle East issued a statement calling the decision irresponsible and taken contrary to the advice of the government's own environment experts. 

The statement made by Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Shimon Peres, at a press conference following the government decision that "research can tell what was, but not what will be" highlights how reckless a decision making process has taken place.  "Deciding first and thinking it through later makes a mockery of responsible government and rational decision making," said Gidon Bromberg, Israeli Director of Friends of the Earth Middle East.

Friends of the Earth Middle East is leading the call for a through feasibility study which examines the possibility of allowing water to flow through the Jordan River to the Dead Sea alongside other options for halting the degradation of the Dead Sea – Jordan River ecosystem.  Selected media coverage highlighting the debate over the controversial Red-Dead Canal from The Economist, The Washington Report on Mideast Affairs, Ynet, NGR internet news, The Marker, The Toronto Star, Deutsche World (German Radio), BBC Fast Track and The Hamilton Spectator can be found at:

In partnership with several other environmental organizations in the region, Friends of the Earth Middle East organized an event against the proposed route of the Separation Barrier in Ma'aleh Adumim area.  According to an environmental survey undertaken for FoEME, the proposed route of the Separation Barrier cuts off over a third of the Judean desert, severely disturbing the fragile desert ecosystem and dividing an important ecological corridor for wildlife.  Representatives from numerous news agencies attended the important action including:  French TV, German TV2, French Press Agency, AP, Reuters, CBC TV (Canadian), Ha'aretz and YNet at: http://www.ynet.co.il/articlesnc/0,7340,L-3375756,00.html.  Supporters are asked to visit FoEME's website to sign a petition calling for alternative security solutions to be found for the area at: https://www.foeme.org/www/?module=take_actions&record_id=12.
