#1 The project, billed as an Egyptian military-operated fish farm, effectively would fill the border area with water

A moat around Gaza is a perennial suggestion here at Rantburg, however, selling it as a fish farm is pure genius. Hey, you don't suppose al Sisi reads the 'Burg?

#2 With Israeli expertise at things like green houses they could both do a deal to expand said farm all the way around.

#6 Mullets? I thought they were bait fish.

#7 Dear Mr. al Sisi,

from coloradogators.com:

The History of Colorado GatorsErwin and Lynne Young moved from Post, Texas to Alamosa, Colorado in September, 1974 with their four children, Mark, Mike, Sherri, and Jay. Erwin learned of the geothermal water resources available in the Valley and wanted to grow Tilapia, an African perch that requires warm water and is very good to eat.

In 1977 they purchased the 80 acre farm that is now Colorado Gators Reptile Park. It wasn’t until 1987 that they purchased 100 baby alligators to dispose of dead fish and the remains of filleted fish.

Those baby gators grew quickly in the warm geothermal water (87° F) and the locals wanted to see them, so we opened to the public in 1990. Soon we were in the spotlight of many media programs and articles. Individuals with overgrown alligators and other reptiles such as large pythons, tortoises, iguanas, and more started dropping them off with us.

Mullet. Figured it was some sort of golf term, always saying I'm going to use my mullet again. Anyways, off to buy my Team Sisi jersey.

#8 No, swksvolFF, a Mullet is a type of Country Western singer though there was one such golfer, John Daley, he drank a lot too.
