Israel closes pipeline Deal to skirt Suez Jerusalem israeli sector up Israel will soon begin construction work to Complete a 16-Inch red sea Mediterranean pipeline to bypass the Suez canal and be the first Oil Supply system in the Middle East not subject to Arab control. The financial aspects of the plan which have been approved by the israeli parliament involve the largest foreign investment thus far recorded in the Young country s rapid economic growth. According to an agreement signed with the israeli govern ment Tri Continental pipelines Ltd. Canada and Eilat pipelines Ltd. Israel obtained a $24 million 49 year Concession for the pipeline which eventually will carry 5.8 million tons of Oil  year 270 Miles Overland from the red sea port of Eilat to Haifa on the Mediterranean. Israeli option at the end of the 49-year period the israeli government has the option of taking Over the pipeline. The Concession begins july 1, 1960, by which time it is expected the annual capacity of the line will be 1.7 million tons. To March 1961, the capacity should be up to 2.9 million tons. The history of this Overland Oil route began with the Sinai Campaign of 1956 when Israel opened the Straits of tiran from Eilat into the red sea and out into  Indian Ocean. Foreign backing shy at this time Israel attempted to get foreign backing for construction of a pipeline. But foreign capital was not willing to take the risk so Israel went it alone and with her own resources Laid a 146-mile line across the Negev desert to Beersheba and then a further 60 Miles to the newly built port of Ashdod. Later a 16-Inch pipe was Laid from Beersheba via Ashdod to Haifa on the Mediterranean. The pipe was almost sufficient for Israel s own needs. Then Israel again looked for foreign support to Lay a. 16-Inch Negev pipeline which would not Only Supply Israel but carry an Oil surplus which could be exported to Europe.
