Another obvious (non) solution: Egypt blocks ships to Eilat around Scharm El-Scheich. And everyone except the Israelis are happy.

- WJW 3y agoNo offense but this is one of those "programmer thinks they can find an edge case in a complex social scenario" cases. First of all your suggestion is directly against the Treaty of Constantinople, at least so long as Egypt and Israel are not at war with each other. Secondly, most cargo ships will be going to Haifa and there is nothing blocking ships from taking a quick detour via (say) Malta so that they technically don't have an Israeli port as their destination when they pass through the Suez canal. Thirdly, the Houthis have been attacking many ships and not just Israeli ships. There is not reason to believe that they would stop doing that.
- hackandthink 3y agoYou are right, this is an obvious non solution. I should have kept that stupid joke to myself.

- dzhiurgis 3y agoPerfect. Israel wanted to build their own Suez canal for a while. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Gurion_Canal_Project https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Gurion_Canal_Project
