IT HAPPENED TOMORROW A Little Peace

vitaleBy Guido Vitale

“This is what a little peace looks like in the Middle East. A room cleaner named Ahmad. A dishwasher named Mohammad. And a man with a vacuum in the lobby of an Israeli beach hotel. Israel and Jordan signed their peace treaty in 1994 — that is a generation ago — but it has often been a cold peace, without real people moving back and forth, without workers, wages or bosses. Now Jordan and Israel have launched a pilot project that is so small and simultaneously so ambitious that it tells the story. For the past six months, very quietly, Israel has been allowing Jordanians to cross the border to its Red Sea resort to work minimum-wage jobs at hotels”. (The Washington Post, May 2016)
