OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Israeli minister of infrastructure Uzi Landau is to announce during an energy forum in Paris this week his government's plan to establish a new nuclear reactor south of Palestine occupied in 1948, media sources revealed.
The BBC said on Tuesday that Landau discussed the issue with the French energy minister and with the Jordanian authorities.
France had helped Israel in building its Dimona nuclear reactor in the fifties of the last century.
The Hebrew economic magazine Globes had revealed last December that Israel was planning the establishment of a new nuclear reactor near the borders with Egypt to generate electricity to meet the expected rising demand on power.
