"April fools Suez canal" at the article? and "April Fools’ Day quiz: how easily fooled are you?"
"UN officials are understood to be reviewing plans to construct a new canal along the Egypt-Israel border, having previously dismissed ideas for a much longer route through Iraq and Syria as too hazardous."
Not saying its impossible, but I do not think you will get much cooperation from Isreal and Egypt in building a canal on their border and running it on the south side of Gaza.
Don't get me wrong they need to get rid of hamas they are the worst terror types on the face of the earth no doubt. But, it is suspicious how the whole thing rolled out with the 7 hour delay after numerous Israeli spotters had seen the build up of hamas only 300 yards from the border and it was totally ignored. Was it to make sure that lots of people were killed/captured as hostages in Israel before they sent the troops in? That's a really harsh thing to do if so. Lots of coincidences there.....
