A rare and dangerous tiger shark was recently spotted near Eilat.
Residents of the Strip would be shuttled from the Erez crossing to Ramon Airport.
The parasite is also wreaking damage in neighboring countries.

The event was broadcast live to more than 600 million viewers in 172 countries.

The main argument against the deal is that it would lead to a sharp rise in the number of oil tankers visiting the Gulf of Eilat, creating a threat to Israel’s coral reefs in the event of a spill.
