Israel–Paraguay Relations
Israel–Paraguay relations refers to the current and historical relationship between Israel and Paraguay. Both countries have full diplomatic relations since the middle of the 20th century, and each has been represented by a full embassy in the other, until 2018. History In 1947, Paraguay was one of the 33 countries that voted for the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, effectively paving way for the creation of Israel. The two countries opened up diplomatic relations in 1949. Israel's embassy in Asunción was closed in 2002 due to budget cuts, although some legal professionals in Israel alleged that it was on religious grounds (as it related to mutual recognition of marriages by both countries). It was reopened in July 2015. In 2005, the Paraguayan embassy in Mevaseret Zion was closed, also due to budgetary constraints, and it was reopened in 2013 in the Tel Aviv District city of Herzliya. On May 21, 2018, Paraguayan President Horacio Cartes announced that the Parag ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1969 Paraguay Plan
In 1969 the Israeli government under Golda Meir approved of a plan to pay 60,000 Palestinians to leave Gaza for Paraguay. At the time, Paraguay was ruled by the Alfredo Stroessner regime, which had agreed in 1967 to go along with the proposal, seeing Palestinians as ideal immigrants out of a need for labor as well as a notion that as mostly Muslims they were not inclined towards communism. At the time the agreement was made, Israel had just occupied Arab territories in the Six-Day War, occupying Gaza with a substantial Palestinian population Israel wanted to systematically remove, in addition to the Sinai peninsula, East Jerusalem, Golan Heights, and the West Bank. While estimates of the exact number of Palestinians sent to Paraguay due to the project vary, ranging from "a few dozen" to "thousands", it is widely agreed that the project was a failure, with the number that made the trip being only a small percent of the 60,000 Palestinians in Gaza the Israeli and Paraguayan governm ...

History Of The Jews In Paraguay
The history of the Jews in Paraguay has been characterised by migration of Jewish people, mainly from European countries, to the South American nation, and has resulted in the Jewish Paraguayan community numbering 1,000 today. Migration began primarily from Europe in the late 19th century, where the first waves of Jewish immigrants to Paraguay came from countries such as France and Italy. This was largely a result of liberal immigration policies after the 1870 Triple Alliance Conflict depleted Paraguay's population. During the 1920s, Jews from Poland and Ukraine arrived in Paraguay, and in the 1930s there was a wave of mass immigration of approximately 20,000 Jews from Germany. Jewish immigration to Paraguay increased during World War II, as many sought temporary refuge in the nation before attempting to seek entry into neighbouring countries, such as Argentina and Brazil. Following World War II, Israel and Paraguay opened diplomatic relations in 1949, however in 1970, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Drip Irrigation
Drip irrigation or trickle irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation system that has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface. The goal is to place water directly into the rhizosphere, root zone and minimize evaporation. Drip irrigation systems distribute water through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. Depending on how well designed, installed, maintained, and operated it is, a drip irrigation system can be more efficient than other types of irrigation systems, such as surface irrigation or sprinkler irrigation. As of 2023, 3% of the world's farmers use drip irrigation. History Ancient China Primitive drip irrigation has been used since ancient times. ''Fan Shengzhi shu'', written in China during the first century BCE, describes the use of buried, unglazed clay pots filled with water, sometimes referred to as Olla#Use in irrigation, Ollas, as ...
