Watan-According to the Israeli website Walla, the Israeli transportation company, Trucknet, has reportedly reached an agreement with an unnamed Gulf company to operate a trucking line for transporting oil to and from the ports of occupation and the Gulf Arab countries.

The Gulf countries are among the world’s largest producers of crude oil. However, sometimes these countries require refined oil products such as diesel and gasoline, which they need to import from Europe and the Middle East. The website stated that the company is working on operating a line to transport goods from the port of Haifa to the Gulf countries.

Two lines through the UAE to Israel!

The mentioned line will operate alongside the current line for transporting goods to bypass disruptions caused by Houthi targeting of ships in the Red Sea. It will transport loads through the Jebel Ali port in the UAE to the occupation.

Israeli private companies will utilize these two lines to export their goods more quickly, and the mentioned agreement will soon allow for a trial period of transportation. Discussions will also be held regarding all transportation details and the possibility of using Jordanian or Israeli trucks for oil transportation.

Walla mentioned that the company aims to transport 34,000 tons of fuel and other materials monthly.

From Jebel Ali port to Haifa

Late last year, Israeli media announced that trucks carrying foodstuffs had traveled through a new land route from the Jebel Ali port in the UAE to the port of Haifa in Israel.

This trial operation of new land routes connecting the UAE and Israel through Saudi Arabia and Jordan comes as an alternative to the usual maritime route through the Suez Canal.

This comes after the announcement of an agreement between Israeli and Emirati companies to operate the new land route, aiming to bypass attacks by the Houthi Ansar Allah movement in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait against ships heading to Israeli ports, according to Hebrew newspapers.

Trucknet is the Israeli company responsible for tracking trucks and determining their routes. It was founded by Israeli businessman Hanan Friedman in 2014, in the southern Israeli city of Eilat. It is listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, with its shares trading at a market value of approximately 35 million shekels.

According to the Israeli newspaper Maariv, it has offices in several countries including France, Spain, Romania, and has two locations in Israel, Tel Aviv and Eilat. It also operates in some Gulf Arab countries.
