The Ministry of Transportation is working to approve Emirati trucks to move within Israel.
The approval will be given in order to allow goods to arrive from India to Israel within a day, this is in preparation for the construction of the peace railway that should operate between the port of Adani in India and the port of Haifa in the coming years.

The plan to transfer the trucks is being promoted by Transport Minister Miri Regev with the aim of minimizing as much as possible the damage to maritime trade due to the Houthi threat, and it is intended to operate until the Peace Railway is established.
It should be noted that about 250 kilometers of railroad tracks are missing for trains in Jordan to complete the track.
According to a senior official at the Ministry of Transportation, the overland transit of the trucks will continue to operate from the coming weeks until the opening of the Peace Railway.
Land transportation will be shortened by 12 days
Senior officials at the Ministry of Transportation told "Israel Today" that the goods that left the port of Adani in India will arrive in the United Arab Emirates, where they will be transferred to local trucks that will be approved to drive on Israeli roads as well. They will be hermetically locked all the way to Israel.

The trucks will arrive as far as Beit Shean and Haifa where they will be unloaded, while the goods that are supposed to continue to Europe will be loaded onto merchant ships at the port, while the goods that are supposed to reach Israel will be transported to different places in the country by Israel Railways.
The Minister of Transportation, Miri Regev, told "Israel Hayom" this morning: "The problem of the Houthis forced us to find additional solutions."
The overland transportation of the goods will be shortened by 12 days and will greatly reduce the existing waiting time due to the Houthi problem."
"I set up teams in the Ministry of Transportation working to change the regulations, and to allow the trucks of the United Emirates, immediately after the required security approvals, to transport goods that will arrive from the Far East, through India to the port of Abu Dhabi and from there through Saudi Arabia and Jordan to the Beit Shean terminal, from where the containers will be transported by Israel Railways to the port The Bay in Haifa".
