Plans for Israel-Jordan cooperation on the exploitation of Jordan River water and in the promotion of tourism to both countries were proposed here today by Moshe Dayan, a member of Ben-Gurion’s Israel Workers faction of the Knesset, Israel’s Parliament, and a former Chief of Staff and Minister of Agriculture.
Addressing a public meeting here, Mr. Dayan said that a peace agreement with Jordan could include provision for access by that country to a Mediterranean seaport in Israel.
