YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIt's been a long time coming, but Israeli commuters are finally able to board double-decker high-speed trains on a new link from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv.
Construction has been plagued by engineering and planning challenges, and the last section of the line is still not open. The route has also angered some Palestinians, as part of the track runs in tunnels under the occupied West Bank.
Transport Minister Yisrael Katz hopes it will eventually whisk passengers from secular, liberal Tel Aviv to a "Donald Trump Station" next to the Western Wall, one of Judaism's holiest sites.
