A Jordanian labourer works at a car filter plant in the Jordan Gateway Industrial Park, a free trade zone straddling the Israel-Jordan border, south of the Sheikh Hussein Bridge, January 29, 2014.

The trade is growing enough to encourage long-held Israeli hopes that the Jewish state can become a commercial gateway to the Arab world. Picture taken January 29, 2014.
