There was a saying that made a lot of sense.
To control the oil price meant to control the Middle East.
To control the global economy meant to control the oil prices.
To control the entire Middle East meant to control access to freshwater.
As the only developed country in the Middle East, as early as ten years ago, Israel operated the world's largest desalination facilities, with more than 30 desalination plants and hundreds of companies in the country active in the field of water management.
And IDE was among the leading Israeli desalination companies.
