Global Research Introduction
Incisive and carefully documented geopolitical analysis by Richard Medhurst pertaining to the building of the Ben Gurion Canal linking the Eastern Mediterranean to the Gulf of Aqaba.
The Ben Gurion Canal Project was initially a “secret” (classified) U.S. project formulated in 1963 by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory LLNG, a strategic think tank (focussing on nuclear radiation) on contract with the U.S Department of Energy. The LLNG project was formulated in response to the nationalization of the Suez Canal in July 1956 by President Gamal Abdel Nasser (1956-1970). Its intent was to bypass the Suez Canal.
According to the “classified” document prepared by the LLNG (1963) quoted by Business Insider, July 2023, a strategic plan was envisaged:
“to blast an alternative Suez Canal through Israel using 520 nuclear bombs”.
The plan consisted in using 520 buried nuclear explosions “to help in the excavation process through the hills in the Negev Desert. The document was declassified in 1993”. I have not been able to consult the “declassified” LLNG document.
The declassified document is acknowledged in Richard Medhurst’s video.

This U.S. plan, first negotiated with Israel in the 1960s is of utmost relevance to unfolding events in Palestine.
It’s objective is to achieve US-Israeli Maritime Dominance against the people of the Middle East. In the context of a broader US-led Middle East War, the Ben Gurion Canal Project is part of America’s hegemonic military agenda. It is consistent with Netanyahu’s “Plan to Wipe Palestine Off the Map”:
The Ben Gurion Canal will give Israel in particular and other friendly nations the freedom from blackmail arising out of access to the Suez Canal.
Arab states have been leveraging the Red Sea to pressure Israel and in response, Israel has decided to gain more control of the Red Sea. These African countries have cultural and economic affinities with the Arab states. One of the main military benefits for Israel is that it gives Israel the strategic options as the Ben Gurion Canal will totally take away the importance of Suez for the US military if needed in the aid for Israel.
Israel aims to push Egypt further into a corner by eliminating Suez in the global trade and energy corridor and becoming a global trade and energy logistics center.
Experts are of the opinion that this situation will shake the strategic-energy balance of China’s Belt and Road Project initiative in the Mediterranean, along with the Strait of Hormuz, which is the transfer point of 30 percent of the world’s energy. The Ben Gurion Canal would have the solid backing of the West. (Eurasia Review, November 7, 2023, emphasis added)
President Biden is broadly supportive of the Israeli led genocide. Visibly what is at stake is a U.S. hegemonic project which seeks the expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland and the appropriation of all Palestinian lands.
According to Yvonne Ridley:
“The only thing stopping the newly-revised [Ben Gurion Canal] project from being revived and rubber-stamped is the presence of the Palestinians in Gaza. As far as Netanyahu is concerned they are standing in the way of the project” (Yvonne Ridley, November 10, 2023, emphasis added)
While the project is contemplated by US-Israel as outlined by Richard Medhurst, the validity of the LLNG 1963 plan is doubtful to say the least.
What is revealed in Medhurst’s video is the U.S. military-intelligence strategy to use Israel as a “hub” in the Middle East with a view to securing the hegemonic control over strategic international waterways.
In solidarity with the People of Palestine

According the Richard Medhurst:
“It will begin at the port city of Eilat and finish right next through, if not directly through, Gaza”

Israel destroys Gaza because it likes killing: ease off with the distractions
No wonder Egypt won’t take in the Palestinians. Having two major canals so close together is pointless, about as pointless as putting in a second front door in your hall, so if Israel is planning to build this canal with the Suez Canal so close, it must be planning to sabotage the Suez Canal so it can steal its trade.
The Suez Canal is already long-established. Captains and mariners know it well, it’s a better route as ships don’t have to sail the Med quite so far east to reach it, and it has fewer turns and is much shorter than Israel’s proposed canal so it’s easier to negotiate. The only way anyone would use Israel’s canal is if there’s no Suez Canal to use. I think Israel will block its narrows by scuttling ships there if its own gets built.
Won’t happen….great how the “blame” was shifted onto America……which is 101% owned by harmless,wouldn’t ‘arm a flygen……jews….the source of virtually all modern conflicts.
All those nookular bombs going off what a boondoggle!.
Incidently about “Richard Medhurst”….He can’t be real,therefore he is probably a creation of the intelligence services rather than Jews Inc…..he also associates with crypto jews in the “business”…..that’s a bit of a no no.
Wouldn’t trust the geek…a mate of the crypto jew Assange.
There is no ‘genocide’ in Gaza. Its a pity psyop for wogs basically. The MSM (Marxist Semitic Media) is falsely reporting 40,000 Arabs have been killed, yet actually they’re being covertly transported to EU/USA–hoodwinking the whites..The Jews & Arabs are both in on the semitic subterfuge–staging a bogus ‘war’ so they can demolish uninhabited buildings & clear the way for new real estate.
A new israeli canal would be good spending most
of israels nukes underground and punish the egyptian
traitor governments for fulfilling all Satanjahus wishes
against the Palestinians .
After Israel is abolished, then, if they should have the technical ability to build a second canal to link the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, which is doubtful considering they couldn’t even build a relatively small dock for landing troops directly into Gaza, two critically strategic canals will be in the hands of the Arabs.
International Jewry will likely use Israel to make a play to control more directly the Suez canal and not just sea lanes.
THE ASHKENAZIS ARE CHAZARS WITH
EUROPEAN MIX . THEIR DNA PROOVES
THEY ARE NO SEMITIC JEWS !
they may believe + feel jewish but they are not .
sephardim are real jews .
should stick Mileikowsky up Ben Gurion’s Anal Canal..
& his Miss Piggy missus
Ah! the Suez canal…
over 100 K’s long and with no locks.
it should be a ninth wonder of the world!
ships presumably float in at one end, gently float uphill to the middle.
then slowly slalom down the sloping water to whichever end they exit this Magical
phenomenon of curve defying engineering brilliance.
once when I used to bother arguing the toss,
a clown on jewtube replied,
writing that those engineers were so clever that they “engineered” the “curve” into the construction!
anyone else have similar bright Ideas?
a
TeeJay – Don’t confuse the issue with logic
One should also consider the other side of the coin. Why would other canals like the Panama Canal need locks? Ships passing through the Panama Canal have to be raised and lowered 80 feet through a series of locks in order to traverse 40 mile canal.
40 miles on the 4000 mile radius globe is over a thousand feet of curvature. The locks are necessary to adjust for a measly 80 feet of topography but no locks are necessary to adjust for the thousand feet of earth’s curvature? Why can’t the ships travel uphill and downhill 80 feet , if they can travel up and down a thousand feet of curvature? How does the earth’s curved ocean water remain in place when the locks need gates to CONTAIN the water?
The Panama canal lock system is considered a great feat of engineering. Why was all of that engineering necessary if a ship can travel uphill on Suez Canal and elsewhere on the oceans without locks. Please baller trolls enlighten us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh79YSCC8mM
