Fifth Foreign Firm Pulls Out of Planned West-East Jerusalem Cable Car

ROPES, a South Tyrol-based cable car consultancy, has become the fifth foreign company to pull out of the planned 1.4-km cable car linking West and East Jerusalem. CEO Stephan Obexer told the Guardian the firm declined the work due to another commitment in India. The route would connect West Jerusalem to a tourist complex promoted by settler group Elad.
