Greece and France Weigh Route Change for Power Cable Set to Reach Israel Greece and France are considering rerouting part of the Great Sea Interconnector, an ambitious undersea electricity project planned to eventually connect Israel with Cyprus and Europe. According to Greek newspaper Kathimerini, the proposed change would avoid areas Turkey claims as part of its continental shelf and reduce the risk of Ankara disrupting construction. The cable is designed to initially connect Greece and Cyprus before extending to Israel, potentially giving Israel a direct electricity link to the European grid.
