Israel opposes the establishment of al-Wahda dam
Syria-Israel, Politics, 10/3/2002

The Jordanian weekly al-Wahdah (unity) quoted in its recent issue well-informed sources saying that Israel had informed several international sides that it strongly opposes the foundation of al-Wahda dam on al-Yarmouk river which will be carried out by Syria and Jordan, according to an agreement between them.

These sources said that Israel through this very position preserves its rights to the waters of al-Yarmouk river and will not permit these rights to be violated.

Political sources described this very Israeli position as expansionist and as the same Israeli position towards the Lebanese project concerning the waters of al-Wazzani river.
