At the Earth Summit in Johannesburg over a year ago, Israel and Jordan agreed to look into building a "Red-Dead" pipeline that would run 320 km along their rugged desert border. Dubbed the "Peace Conduit", the canal would be the biggest Israel-Jordanian joint venture since their 1994 peace treaty. Israeli officials cite the importance of cooperation with former Arab enemies as one of the main reasons they favor the Red-Dead canal over an older "Med-Dead" proposal to take water from the Mediterranean Sea, which would not involve Jordan.

根据题干中关键词the“Red-Dead”canal和“Med-Dead”proposal可定位原文相关部分为“Israeli officials cite the importance of cooperation with former Arab enemies as one of the main reasons they favor the Red-Dead canal over an older "Med-Dead" proposal…”，其中信号词“reasons”说明该词前后部分为因果关系，既然该词后部分为题干内容，显然该词前部分的内容应为正确答案。因此，选项A的说法是正确的。
[解题关键] 掌握通过信号词正确判断语义逻辑关系，如通过原文reason可判断出其上下文的因果关系。
