An Israeli subcommittee approved a development plan for the Galilee Sea and its environs on June 30. The National Planning Committee is expected to adopt the plan soon, opening the way to the much-needed development of the area after decades of neglect, addressing bureaucratic obstacles and protecting sensitive ecological areas.
The Sea of Galilee region offers visitors an exceptional experience with a unique natural habitat, beautiful pebble beaches, water attractions, archeological digs and Christian holy sites. The east bank of the Galilee Sea, which is actually a lake, looks over Israel’s border with the Hashemite Kingdom.
