It was clear that this project was meant to be a symbolic project. If only one side of the story is involved, this will not be the symbol of anything because rivals have a long history of not being able to work on the same project. If this project is another one, then it will not be the symbol of anything.
The aim of this project is that arch-rivals work on the same project. It doesn’t mean they are good people or bad people, the whole point is that arch-rivals work on the same project. I intentionally don’t use the term “work together” because they don’t have to work together if they don’t want to. Iran supports Palestinians and Israel supports Israelis. The symbolic shift in the viewpoint is that “support” here doesn’t mean providing one’s side with arms, instead Iran and Israel protect their sides by building an economic shield around their people. The Islamic Republic and right-wing Israelis don’t have to work together. They can continue to dislike each other as long as they don’t harm the project.
There are people in the core team in this project who probably couldn’t talk to each other for a few minutes but will closely work together in this project. This is what this project is all about.
