Cairo: Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday Israel would issue a tender soon to build a privately run port in the coming months, in a bid to break the monopoly held by state run Ashdod and Haifa ports, whose trade unions have caused trade problems over the years.
"In the coming months there will be a tender for an additional new port for Israel," Netanyahu said. "This plan will have very big consequences on the cost of living."
"Efficiency, or lack of efficiency, at the ports is something every citizen feels in his pocket," Netanyahu added. [20/05/13]
