Israel is urging Ethiopia to complete the Renaissance Dam project in order to get control of the water supply and stifle Egypt’s hydraulic energy production, the chairman of the National Committee for Disasters Reduction said.
In his interview with the Egyptian daily newspaper Al-Mesryoon, Maghawry Shehata added that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about the management of the water source during his visit to Ethiopia.
He pointed out that there will be experts from Israel among the technical committees that will determine the Nile waters’ quotas.
