Israel advancing plan to build hospital for Jordanian patients in joint industrial park along border

Israel is moving forward with plans to build a hospital on its territory to serve Jordanian patients as part of a joint industrial park along the border. The facility may focus on cancer treatment and is intended to promote cooperation between Israel and Jordan. The industrial park, known as the Jordan Gateway, will allow both Israelis and Jordanians to work together on various projects, with existing infrastructure like the Jordan River Crossing bridge connecting the two sides. While the Jordanian side features factories aimed at employing local workers, the Israeli side is set to focus on high-level initiatives such as medical tourism, academia, and innovation. After resolving previous legal disputes, the project is now advancing, with new infrastructure and security arrangements being planned to ensure controlled movement within the zone.
