Project Alpha

Israel Offers a Land Bridge between Hebron and the Gaza Strip

John Foster Dulles reveals existence of Project Alpha in speech on Middle East to Council for Foreign Relations in New York: Dulles proposes a program to end the war between Israel and the Arab states. There should be an agreement on borders; an international guarantee of these borders, sponsored by the UN, with U.S. participation through formal treaty obligations; an international loan, with heavy U.S. assistance to help create more arable land where the refugees will reside.
