'Israel must not lose this opportunity': Former Biden official warns about Israel's role in IMEC

A former U.S. National Security Council director, Samantha Sutton, warned Israel not to miss the opportunity to participate in the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC). Speaking at an IMEC Initiative workshop in Haifa, Sutton emphasized the need for infrastructure improvements at Haifa Port to meet the projected demand of handling seven million containers annually, compared to the current capacity of 2.5 million. She also highlighted the insufficient capacity of the Israel-Jordan border crossings, which currently handle only 200 trucks per day but would require 7,500 daily for the initiative. Sutton suggested that changes in Israel's current government, particularly involving coalition partners, could facilitate greater involvement in the IMEC project.
