1. Yes...

Iraq is a huge supply of water in the arid Middle East, and there was talk in the 1990's that water from the Euphrates and Tigris could be piped south to arid parts, especially...Israel. Now America controls Iraq...this is possible. I don't have a link or reference for this at the moment.

Also, one reason behind Israel's so-called "security" barrier that they are building through Palestinian land is to secure water supplies on the West Bank. I don't have a link for this but here's the reference: NewScientist magazine, 29 May 2004 issue, page 6.
